have, want, need, vol. XVIII

reading natalie

she writes:
"It's so much better to desire than to have."
Thus spoke Anouk Aimée(b.1937), French luminary, actress, objet du désir.
An owned object ceases being desired the moment it is possessed. Although I agree with Ms. Aimée, I am also of the opinion that one can possess beautiful things that generate beauty, desire and intrigue. I've prepared a dreamlist of sorts, a constellation of things I love, things with soul, my sheetof "haves" and "desires". I leave it to you to discern the former from the latter.
