The Magic Theatre

And this wonderful girl--if only I had known her name! All of a sudden there was a human being, a living human being, to shatter the death that had come down over me like a glass case, and to put out a hand to me, a good and beautiful and warm hand. / Herman Hesse

Que bonito es

[Girl:]
Yo morire y nadie se acordara de mi. Yo morire y nadie se acordara de mi... de mi.
[Man:]
Si, Lisa. Yo me acordare de ti e ire a verte al cementerio con una flor y un perro. Y en tu funeral cantare... en voz baja: Que bonito es un entierro. /Agalloch

The couple

Behind another door there is a man and a woman holding hands. They watch me in silence. I back down to the hallway. Still lost.

Precaution

If you should wake up in the middle of the night when staying at the Retreat follow this advice: Go to sleep again as fast as you can. Don't be tempted to stay awake - horrible things are happening.

Life trickles in from the outside

"The Doctor: I understand, all right. The hopeless dream of being - not seeming, but being. At every waking moment, alert. The gulf between what you are with others and what you are alone. The vertigo and the constant hunger to be exposed, to be seen through, perhaps even wiped out." /Persona

an image of the world

”The flight from the name ’bourgeois’ is not therefore an illusory, accidental, secondary, natural or insignificant phenomenon: it is the bourgeois ideology itself, the process through which the bourgeoisie ideology transforms the reality of the world into an image of the world, History and Nature. And this image has a remarkable feature: it is upside down” - Roland Barthes

Angels exist

Homer, the aged poet: Must I give up now? If I do give up, then mankind will lose its storyteller. And if mankind once loses its storyteller, then it will lose its childhood./”Der Himmel über Berlin"

Mysterium Coniunctionis

"Swedenborg writes: 'The angels are troubled concerning the darkness on earth. They say that they can see hardly any light anywhere, that men live and strengthen themselves in lying and deceit, and so heap up falsity upon falsity.” /From A Blue Book by August Strindberg
