Soul Set Loose
The kinship entered into the villas interior. Around the central garden, five stories opened upward like giant steps of a pyramid, and each held a terrace as the architecture receded before the rising garden. Sweeping backward as the ceiling revealed open sky on each of the four sides, the sight of draped mosses refreshed Echecrates, ever since the days of his youth. The tiered terraces let sunlight in through the clear plexiglass dome above. A dome that would soon open as winter approached its end. For now, layers of additional sheeting extended from each terrace, creating a collage of coloured streaks as the 6 layer bubble kept in pockets of warm air.

Polar Opposition
At the extremes: Stoic -vs-Epicurean Epicurean: One should enjoy life to its fullest by savouring each experience. Stoic: It is good to be happy, but you lose the habit of accentuating each mild pleasure when you pursue only the epitome of pleasure. Old age will come and leave a hollow want, where the statement that you must have been great is only a bitterness. It is better to habituate satisfaction with the moment, letting the cherry on top come as a passing fruit bound to fade.
