Vergissmeinnicht
-Keith Douglas
Three weeks gone and the combatants gone
returning over the nightmare ground
we found the place again, and found
the soldier sprawling in the sun.
The frowning barrel of his gun
overshadowing. As we came on
that day, he hit my tank with one
like the entry of a demon.
Look. Here in the gunpit spoil
the dishonoured picture of his girl
who has put: Steffi. Vergissmeinnicht.
in a copybook gothic script.
We see him almost with content,
abased, and seeming to have paid
and mocked at by his own equipment
that's hard and good when he's decayed.
But she would weep to see today
how on his skin the swart flies move;
the dust upon the paper eye
and the burst stomach like a cave.
For here the lover and killer are mingled
who had one body and one heart.
And death who had the soldier singled
has done the lover mortal hurt.
ZIDANE.

"Love humiliates us, Hatred cradles us"
"People who loved you didn't go off and kill themselves and leave you stranded by the side of the road like some junked car. They believed in their love. They believed that even if things didn't go well, even if things looked like crap for a while, you could hang in there, love was worth hanging around for"
"How right that the body changed over time, becoming a gallery of scars, a canvas of experiences, a testament to life and one's capacity to endure it."
"Life was just a factory of days and weeks and years, and for what, when you knew how the story turned out, what the product was at the end?"
"People thought beauty was bullshit, just a Band-Aid slapped over the abyss, but they couldn't be more wrong. It was like Lola Lola had said, beauty mattered, it was the only thing that fed you when everything else had turned to shit"
"Each man kills the thing he loves"
"Perfection [is] no protection"
"And above them all, the giant Marlboro man squinted down from his billboard with testosterone scorn, like God sneering down on creation"
"Death didn't care about sex, about love, human weakness. it has what it wanted, a toupee and a gold chain bracelet, tasseled loafers, and a part in a movie"
