I guessed this information introspectively contemplating my soul thrown into the deepest part of my reason, springing from one rock to another in a frenzied dance where I lost several times the steady state of my feet, caught as distortion of our two natures binding through a mirror magnetizing our affections. I drew constantly burning ignorance which absolve me from my skull qu'appas be weary, and I filled the night of furious exclamations, questions, symptoms of my huge weakness, my strength flagging.

I really like Botticeli a lot so here

this one is the Primavera and it's pretty interesting and a somewhat complex allegory. It is a Neoplatonic reference since the poets and neoplatonic philosophers conceived of Venus (the goddess of love) as having two separate natures. The first one was she ruled over earthly and human love; the second was she ruled over Heavenly and divine love. In this sense Botticelli is portraying Venus as an equivalent to the Virgin Mary, since Mary knew love of humans (her natural family) and the love of the divine (her supernatural son) Hence the title Primavera. It is one of the few secualr paintings left form Botticelli along with the famous Birth of Venus. Botticelli went through a phase where he became intently religious and destroyed many of his old more secular paintings.
