You will understand when you see me dance. -Vaclav Nijinsky
Sometimes, a man's writing is so personal, so raw and wrapped up in that private world. Nijinsky's diaries seem that way to me. Like something that should only be seen in solitude. They are remarkably lucid in a way, and exist as one of the most thorough documentaries of an artist descending into schizophrenia.
Or perhaps he really was something other than merely human.
