many many books

greek mythology

science

sex

gluttony

the potent effects of music on mood (i don't make music. but music is often playing in my head)

those who question bravely

memory & time. but i haven't read proust.

an oversensitive nervous system that amplifies sensations to the point of nausea.

delicious smells

the sea! the sea! the smell of the sea.

all manner of traumas

beautiful women

desire of the kind that gives you a lump in your throat or a weird thing in the solar plexus

good poets

good writers

light-- the kind you catch in mid-air, dust suspended in errant sunbeams

vision, in general

the impossibility of ideals
