		As a work of art, the Sistine Chapel is unparalleled; it is said that one can have no idea of what one man can achieve in his life until one has seen it.
		But as a work of inspiration, it is somewhat greater; the man who threw pots of paint off his scaffolding to discourage regular inspections by the pope and who declared himself "friendless, and better for it" while creating his masterwork, paid homage to a spirit of the soul, one that gave him reason to live.
