the knife





Auch ist es vielleicht nicht eigentlich Liebe wenn ich sage, daß Du mir das Liebste bist; Liebe ist, daß Du mir das Messer bist, mit dem ich in mir wühle.


Kafka an Milena



Nor is it perhaps really love when I say that for me you are the most beloved; love is to me that you are the knife which I turn within myself.

  1. Yes. And this turning of the knife in one's own flesh makes one speak to the beloved with a cruelty that is almost unbelievable when remembered, later in the day....

    And there is regret, which heats the blade to turn again....

  3. yes, james, this is also true. but he says that SHE is that knife he turns in himself, I believe this changes the perspective a little.

    dar asa cred si eu, ca e foarte frumoasa, si are o privire ucigatoare aici, si misterioasa, cumva.
