Label TextHe has the gleaming eye and protruding brow of a demoniacal scribe. But those who see him are not afraid. He is greatly compassionate, imbued with the eternal truth. He yawns and groans, reclines and stares upwards joining the palms of his hands. He seems neither holy man nor layman. You cannot say he does not exist and you cannot say he does!
