About Me

“I am almost sure to be blotted out by death, but sometimes I think it is not impossible that I may continue to live in some other manner after my physical death.... Or, as Hamlet wonders, what dreams will come when we leave this body?” Jorge Luis Borges

My Interests

This love So violent So fragile So tender So hopeless This love As beautiful as the day And as wretched as the weather When the weather is wretchedThis love So real This love So beautiful So happy So joyous And so ridiculous Trembling with fear Like a child in the dark And so sure of itself Like a tranquil man in the quiet of the night This love Which made others afraid Which made them gossip Which drained the colour from their cheeks This love Watched for Because we watched for them Snared, wounded, trampled, finished, denied, forgotten Because we snared, wounded, trampled, finished, denied, forgot itThis love Entire Still so alive Shining This is yours This is mine This love Which is always new And which never changes Real like a plant Quivering like a bird Warm and as alive as the summer We can both Go and come back We can forget And fall asleep And wake up To suffer old age Fall asleep again To dream to death Awake To smile and laugh Young again Our love endures Obstinate as a mule As alive as the desire As cruel as the memory As stupid as the regret As tender as the memory As cold as marble As beautiful as the day As delicate as an infant It watches us Smiling And speaks to us Without saying a word And I I listen to it Trembling And I cry I cry for you I cry for myself And I beg you For yourself For me And for all those who love And who are loved Yes I cry to it For you For me And for all the others I do not know Stay there There where you are There where you were before Stay there Don't move Don't go away We who are loved We have forgotten you Do not forget us We had only you on this earth Do not let us grow cold Further and further away every day It doesn't matter where Give us a sign of life In a nook in the woods In the forest of memory Suddenly arise Take us by the hand And save usJacques Prevert

I'd like to meet:

Bojan Bem. Francis Bacon. Carl Gustav Jung. Herman Hesse. Friederick Hoelderlin. Federico Garcia Lorca. Jacques Prevert. Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Jens Jacobsen. Joseph Beuys. Paul Klee... Anyone interesting that is from the same world as I am.
