Nothing is missing

Every tool is here. The compass is in hand, the ladder is up, the sand is running. Nothing is missing except the work.

I keep this print as a warning: you can have everything you need to make something great, and still stall, claimed by distractions.

Albrecht Dürer, Melencolia I, 1514.

Engraving of a winged figure seated with head resting on one fist, surrounded by tools, a sleeping dog, a polyhedron, a sphere, a ladder, an hourglass, a bell and a magic square.
