undoing







an arm reaches out
a curtain is pulled
a window is opened
the light is let in
yet behind each one
of these gestures
there is another gesture
undoing what is being done.

i seek the silence
undoing me.

In the sound of heartbreak there is no form or shadow;
Painting is made without sound and is also heartbreaking.


Huang Tingjian (1045—1105)

overfull





Ich liebe Den, dessen Seele tief ist auch in der Verwundung, und der an einem kleinen Erlebnisse zu Grunde gehen kann: so geht er gerne über die Brücke.


I love him whose soul is deep even in the wounding, and may succumb through a small matter: thus goeth he willingly over the bridge.








Ich liebe Den, dessen Seele übervoll ist, so dass er sich selber vergisst, und alle Dinge in ihm sind: so werden alle Dinge sein Untergang.


I love him whose soul is so overfull that he forgetteth himself, and all things are in him: thus all things become his down-going.


Fr. Nietzsche, Also sprach Zarathustra

(tr. Thomas Common)
