Parsifal

Parsifal achieves the Grail and the burden of perfection is too much for him to bear. He disappears in a puff of magnesium smoke. And the poor love was still a virgin. What kind of a life is that?

Perfection is stasis, is death. Nothing that exists in time can be perfect. There will always be something more that can be added to it.
