"When I have a terrible need of — shall I say the word — religion. Then I go out and paint the stars."
Vincent Van Gogh

Third Man Factor

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_Man_factor






"Who is the third who walks always beside you?
When I count, there are only you and I together
But when I look ahead up the white road
There is always another one walking beside you
Gliding wrapt in a brown mantle, hooded
I do not know whether a man or a woman
— But who is that on the other side of you?"

-T.S. Eliot (The Wasteland)
