"Behind every
exquisite thing that existed, there was something tragic.
Worlds had to be in travail, that the meanest flower might blow.
. . . And how charming he had been at dinner the night before,
as with startled eyes and lips parted in frightened pleasure
he had sat opposite to him at the club, the red candleshades
staining to a richer rose the wakening wonder of his face.
Talking to him was like playing upon an exquisite violin.
He answered to every touch and thrill of the bow. . . . There
was something terribly enthralling in the exercise of influence.
No other activity was like it. To project one's soul into some
gracious form, and let it tarry there for a moment; to hear one's
own intellectual views echoed back to one with all the added
music of passion and youth; to convey one's temperament into
another as though it were a subtle fluid or a strange perfume:
there was a real joy in that--perhaps the most satisfying
joy left to us in an age so limited and vulgar as our own,
an age grossly carnal in its pleasures, and grossly common
in its aims...." (the Picture of Dorian Gray- O. Wilde)"One can speak of the good mental health of Van Gogh who, in his whole adult life, cooked only one of his hands and did nothing else except once to cut off his left ear,
in a world in which every day one eats vagina cooked in green sauce or penis of newborn child whipped and beaten to a pulp,
just as it is when plucked from the sex of its mother.
And this is not an image, but a fact abundantly and daily repeated and cultivated throughout the world.
And this, however delirious this statement may seem, is how modern life maintains its old atmosphere of debauchery, anarchy, disorder, delirium, derangement, chronic insanity, bourgeois inertia, psychic anomaly (for it is not man but the world which has become abnormal), deliberate dishonesty and notorious hypocrisy, stingy contempt for everything that shows breeding.
insistence on an entire order based on the fulfillment of a primitive injustice, in short, of organized crime.
Things are going badly because sick consciousness has a vested interest right now in not recovering from its sickness. This is why a tainted society has invented psychiatry to defend itself against the investigations of certain superior intellects whose faculties of divination would be troublesome."
(Van Gogh, The Man Suicided By Society- Antonin Artaud)[email protected]"Whither is God? I will tell you. We have killed him- you and I. All of us are his murderers. But how did we do this? How could we drink up the sea? Who gave us the sponge to wipe away the entire horizon? What were we doing when we unchained this earth from its sun? Whither is it moving now? Whither are we moving? Away from all suns? Are we not plunging continually? Backward, sideward, forward, in all directions? Is there still any up or down? Are we not straying, as through an infinite nothing? Do we not feel the breath of empty space? Has it not become colder? Is not night continually closing in on us? Do we not need to light lanterns in the morning? Do we hear nothing as yet of the noise of the gravediggers who are burying God? Do we smell nothing as yet of the divine decomposition? Gods, too, decompose. God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him."
(The Gay Science- Nietzsche)

Preludio- PragaNoi siamo i figli dei padri ammalati; aquile al tempo di mutar le piume, svolazziam muti, attoniti, affamati, sull’agonia di un nume.Nebbia remota è lo splendor dell’arca, e già dall’idolo d’or torna l’umano, e dal vertice sacro il patriarca s’attende invano;s’attende invano dalla musa bianca che abitò venti secoli il Calvario, e invan l’esausta vergine s’abbranca ai lembi del Sudario…Casto poeta che l’Italia adora, vegliardo in sante visioni assorto, tu puoi morir!…degli anticristi è l’ora! Cristo è rimorto!O nemico lettor, canto la Noia, l’eredità del dubbio e dell’ignoto, il tuo re, il tuo pontefice, il tuo boia, il tuo cielo e il tuo loto!Canto litane di martire e d’empio; canto gli amori dei sette peccati che mi stanno nel cor come in un tempio inginocchiati.Canto le ebrezze dei bagni d’azzurro, e l’Ideale che annega nel fango… Non irrider, fratello, al mio sussurro Se qualche volta piango,giacchè più del mio pallido demone odio il minio e la maschera al pensiero, giacchè canto una misera canzone, ma canto il vero!Artaud, Bataille, Anais Nin, Wilde, Boudelaire, Orwell, Beckett, Huysmans, Rimbaud, Apollinaire, Lautreamont, Blake, Mallarme', Ballard, De Sade, Kristof, Moravia, Pirandello, Poe, Daumal, Verlaine, Tarchetti, Aragon, Gilbert-Lecomte, Mansour, Corbiere, Baricco, Suskind etc
