It Seemed to Belong To Me

[Hands Experiment - Lasha Krikheli]

But I had no guess of it then as I sat writing by the fireside, in what seemed the spring-tides of a somewhat pedestrian inspiration; nor yet by day, after lunch, as I read aloud my morning's work to the family. It seemed to me original as sin; it seemed to belong to me like my right eye.
-Robert Louis Stevenson, quoted by Peter Turchi in Maps of the Imagination: The Writer as Cartographer

"As original as sin."

Another beautiful photograph. How is it that you have more luck with Google images than I do? Come find me a picture of a boy with a bruise o his forehead and I will post for you.
