Passing passages

Maybe love won't let you down. All of your failures are training grounds and just as your back's turned you'll be surprised...as your solitude subsides. W. Shakespeare  I hold this to be the higher task for a bond between two people: that each protect the solitude of the other.  R.M. Rilke  Talent develops in solitude, character develops in the stream of life. W. Goethe

I told myself: "There must be people whose job it is to use the right words, put things in a way... who when their heart beats, can get other people's hearts to beat." "That day I decided to become a poet." ~ Le tigre et la neige (Film)

If she dies, they can close this whole show of a world... they can cart it off, unscrew the stars, roll up the sky and put it on a truck, they can turn off this sunlight I love so much. Do you know why I love it so much? Because I love her when the sun shines on her. They can take everything away, these carpets, columns, houses, sand, wind, frogs, ripe watermelons, hail, seven in the evening, May, June, July, basil, bees, the sea, courgettes... ~ Le tigre et la neige (Film)
