| | | The Broken Keys | | |


There is something achingly poetic about the image of these two broken keys. They remind me of doomed lovers who were destined to die if they stayed together but chose to anyway. It's an archetypal kind of image. Maybe a little like the lovers from Dante's Inferno?
What were their names? Paolo and Francesca? I forget. It's been ten years since I've read the Inferno. I guess it's almost time to read it again, huh? Anyway, there's lots of symbolic potential with keys and a broken key has even greater potential, in my opinion. Keys are so readily available to me because people so often lose them. I probably have at least 10 different keys in my current collection and none of them look remotely alike, which is cool. These broken keys, though, weren't lost. They must have been discarded. So were they broken because they were going to be discarded, or were they discarded because they were broken? Hmmm....
