Good evening.

Have you ever wanted to cosy up by the fireplace, while reading novels amidst an embrace? Or spend a day out in the town, discussing language and literature by the corner windows of street-side cafés? Well, you may just be in luck- for I'm a cute, Classically educated student, who's on a quest to understand the world. It's a quest that will take me to many places-- but I hope I'll see those places, with you.

I'm looking for warmth. For sensitivity. For an innate curiosity towards all the wonders of our reality, a drive to learn and to understand. These were the traits that I found most in myself, and it was this self-same wish for discovery that drove me on the path that I'm at today.

For I know that there is much richness in our reality -- beauty and detail at every level of resolution. To understand the world requires compassion, and examination both within and without. For me, the field equations of Physics are just as much a source of wonder, as the subtlest of nuances in Dostoevsky's prose -- and both equally needed to live an eudaemonic life.

I speak four languages. Three with fluency, and one in which I'm just acquainted enough to get in trouble with. I can read prose and poetry in Attic and Koine Greek. My pursuit for beauty has taken me both to windy summits and the marbled colonnades of national museums, and I am equally comfortable in hiking boots or opera gloves.

Above all, I desire for conversation. To meet another soul through the means of the word, and travel together in an inquiry of the mind and the matter.

Will you join me in this journey? What wonders can you bring, through the unalloyed splendour of your own resplendent soul? Whether you are a mathematician, studying the deepest levels of symmetry and balance in domains analytic or discrete, or a Scientist peering into the smallest intricacies of natural phenomena; I could fall in love with you.

ὀ μὲν γὰρ κάλος ὄσσον ἴδην πέλεται ⟨καλος⟩,

ὀ δὲ κἄγαθος αὔτικα καὶ κάλος ἔσσεται.

For the man who is beautiful is beautiful to see

but the good man will at once also beautiful be.

-- Sappho

I yearn, for beauty, for curiosity, to see the world not as I know it, but reflected from the eyes of a foreign mind. Show me the world that you inhabit, your studies and your pursuits. The ways in which you examine your reality -- for truly, ὁ δὲ ἀνεξέταστος βίος οὐ βιωτὸς ἀνθρώπῳ.

I trust that we will find each other. We will travel the world, hike mountains and summit peaks. Share and partake in each other's hobbies, and touch the soil of every continent upon this globe.

What are you waiting for? Write to me.

I want to fall in love with you.

With eyes, which beckon to a beauty of the soul.
