From Our First Kiss Socks

Description: Lou Andreas-Salomé quote: Our first experience is, remarkably, of loss. A moment ago we still were everything, undivided; all other existence was indivisible from us. Then we were thrust into being born. We became a residual part of everything, a part which had to strive from then on not to fall into further diminution, which had to assert itself against a contrary world rising ever wider against it, a world into which it had fallen from completeness into an initially depriving emptiness.
