And then you get really sad or hit by that really heavy melancholy? This is what Leonardo da Vinci feels like for me Of course he was real but that was half a century ago and he'll never be real for meOr when you're a huge fan of an actor author singer whatever and you want to meet them so badly and then maybe you get the chance to meet them and you think you're about to lose your mind when you realise oh snap I'm going to see their face right in front of me For me this person is Leonardo da Vinci and reading this book is the closest I co
