Conditioned to ecstasy, the poet is like a gorgeous unknown bird mired in the ashes of thought. If he succeeds in freeing himself, it is to make a sacrificial flight to the sun. His dreams of a regenerate world are but the reverberations of his own fevered pulse beats. He imagines the world will follow him, but in the blue he finds himself alone. Alone but surrounded by his creations; sustained, therefore, to meet the supreme sacrifice. The impossible has been achieved; the duologue of author with Author is consummated. And now forever through the ages the song expands, warming all hearts, penetrating all minds. At the periphery the world is dying away; at the center it glows like a live coal. In the great solar heart of the universe the golden birds are gathered in unison. There it is forever dawn, forever peace, harmony and communion. Man does not look to the sun in vain; he demands light and warmth not for the corpse which he will one day discard but for his inner being. His greatest desire is to burn with ecstasy, to commerge his little flame with the central fire of the universe. If he accords the angels wings so that they may come to him with messages of peace, harmony and radiance from worlds beyond, it is only to nourish his own dreams of flight, to sustain his own belief that he will one day reach beyond himself, and on wings of gold. One creation matches another; in essence they are all alike. The brotherhood of man consists not in thinking alike, nor in acting alike, but in aspiring to praise creation. The song of creation springs from the ruins of earthly endeavor. The outer man dies away in order to reveal the golden bird which is winging its way toward divinity.

I am living at the Villa Borghese. There is not a crumb of dirt anywhere, nor a chair misplaced. We are all alone here and we are dead.

I found that what I had desired all my life was not to live - if what others are doing is called living - but to express myself.

To be silent the whole day long, see no newspaper, hear no radio, listen to no gossip, be thoroughly and completely lazy, thoroughly and completely indifferent to the fate of the world is the finest medicine a man can give himself.

ja znam da sloboda znači odgovornost.isto tako znam kako se lako želja može pretvoriti u čin. čak i kad sklopim oči, moram paziti kako sanjam i o čemu, jer samo najtanji veo deli tada san od jave.

Ah, Tania, nerede şimdi senin o sıcak yarığın, o kalın ve ağır jartiyerlerin, yumuşak ve dolgun uylukların? On beş santim uzunluğunda bir kemik var kamışımda. Dölümle doldurup ütüleyeceğim amındaki her kırışıklığı, Tania. Karnında sancıyla ve rahmin ters yüz edilmiş halde göndereceğim seni Sylvester’a.

Go to quote


Beni ancak zengin bir kancık kurtarır,’ diyor büyük bir yılgınlıkla. ‘Sürekli yeni kancıklar peşinde koşmaktan yoruluyor insan. Mekanikleşiyor. Aşık olamıyorum, asıl sorun bu, anlıyor musun? Fazlasıyla bencilim. Kadınlar düş kurmama yardımcı oluyor sadece, hepsi bu. Kötü bir alışkanlık gibi, alkol gibi, afyon gibi. Her gün yeni bir am bulmayılıyım kendime; yoksa hastalıklı bir hal alıyorum. Fazla düşünüyorum. Bazen kendime, işi ne kadar çabuk bitirdiğime şaşıyorum - ve aslında ne kadar az anlamı olduğuna. Otomatiğe bağlamışım sanki. Bazen kadın filan düşünmüyorum ama birden kadının tekinin bana baktığını fark ediyorum ve küt! Yeniden başlıyor. Ne yaptığımı anlamadan bir bakıyorum ki odamdayız. Ne dediğimi bile hatırlamıyorum. Onları odama getiriyorum, kıçlarına bir şaplak atıyorum ve göz açıp kapayınaya değin bir bakıyorum ki iş bitmiş. Düş gibi.. Anlıyor musun ne demek istediğimi?

I didn't give a fuck whether I found anything or not. The thing is, never to be too anxious. Everything comes in due time.
