I turned and saw below
The same shape twisted on the banister
Under the vapour in the fetid air
Struggling with the devil of the stairs who wears
The deceitul face of hope and of despair.

"Charlie was lonely, which was unusual for someone capable of architomic reproduction. In the past, it had been enough for him to drop off one of his tentacles and let it grow into another Charlie to keep him company. But these little Charlies had a habit of moving out once they reached adolescence and lately these unceremonious departures had left him feeling even more bereft than before."

"...neurotic and self-loathing, describing houses in need of renovation with words like “dated”, “immature,” or “wrong.” Whether presented as a self-improvement project (update your house lest you be judged for owning a dated one) or a form of self-care (renovate because it will make you feel better), the home remodel is presented as both remedy and requirement." https://www.curbed.com/2018/3/7/17087588/home-renovation-unnecessary-mcmansion-hell-wagner

There is nothing wrong with your house Mcmansion Hell’s Kate Wagner argues that in a culture that continually celebrates renovation, what our homes actually need is to be left alone.

Before we enter, I must warn you that the current tenant – the artist – is currently present in the property. Yes, he knows we’re coming. No, you cannot talk to him. I think he’ll most likely be asleep. Quite okay, yes, we can talk while we’re up there. Follow me.

Oögenesis - The White Review After her daughter had – for the third time, no less – laid her eggs in the fruit bowl, Mrs Jane Smith lost her temper, because if she had told that girl once, she’d told her a thousand times: no procreation in the house.
