Comments on St Jerome (detail) by Durer

It's a medieval exercise of de-composition, of de-structuring life through meditation, perhaps. You can reach a conclusion about what self is, once you see someone's self absent from a wretched, bone-dry remnant. My skull is that skull, and the salient difference between me and that, beyond perishable flesh, beyond fleeting thoughts and feelings, is my hunger and yearning for what is eternal and immutable, my unflinching desire to receive God's grace.
