An old poem
Your face is neither infinite nor ephemeral. You can never see your own face, only a reflection, not the face itself. So you sigh in front of mirrors and cloud the surface. It’s better to keep your breath cold. Hold it, like a diver does in the ocean. One slight movement, the mirror-image goes. Don’t …
