"I would have liked to say more about the hero... in a particular tone, to give an account of him, with facts and dates. But such a procedure is quite pointless and deceptive. Song alone can give some notion of what he meant to me, but the register of poets is limited. Although the novelist can deal with any subject, can speak of any character in precise detail, and can achieve variety, the poet is subject to the demands of his heart, which attracts to him all human beings who have been marked obliquely by evil and misfortune... They live, with minor variations, the same moments, the same perils, and when I speak of them, my language, which is inspired by them, repeats the same poems in the same tone." - - - Jean Genet, Funeral Rites ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I would be so solid to love - for example, from my lips you would harvest little clusters - spherical, vocal, damp - and to the typewriter beat of the old organ, the heart, could pass night after night listening to concerts of pure rhetoric that would be almost like spring storms... setting ablaze the Academy of distance, the Arcadia of practical sadnesses, while waiting for new architectures of rheum to crumble under the tap suddenly turned on by each awakening." - - - Aldo Busi, Sodomies in Elevenpoint

“Perhaps it is not-being that is the true state, and all our dream of life is without existence; but, if so, we feel that it must be that these phrases of music, these conceptions which exist in relation to our dream, are nothing either. We shall perish, but we have for our hostages these divine captives who shall follow and share our fate. And death in their company is something less bitter, less inglorious, perhaps even less certain.†- - - Marcel Proust, À la recherche du temps perdu ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
