live the greek way of life
Fabiola by Francis Alÿs
Fabiola is an installation of over 300 painted copies and reproductions of fourth century Saint-Fabiola, collected by Francis Alÿs from flea markets and antique shops throughout Europe and America in the last 20 years. They are all based on a now lost original painting by french artist Jean-Jacques Henner made in the nineteenth century.
I saw this at the National Portrait Gallery several years ago and it was startling and unsettling. I’ve never seen anything else remotely like it in concept or execution.
I can imagine! It’s such a powerful idea, would love to see it in person.
A lot of abuse victims hear about the cycle of abuse and are terrified that they’re going to become like their abuser, so here’s a reminder to those who need it:
You are not your abuser. You will not become your abuser.
The fact you’re afraid of hurting others the way you were hurt, and the fact that you recognise that what was done to you was wrong, shows that you’re a good person who doesn’t want to cause anyone else the kind of pain you’ve been through. The cycle of abuse is not inevitable - it can be broken. You are not doomed to become your abuser.

“but everyone had this patina
of slightly bruised longing, this shimmer of
I think I knew you when we were children,
this look of I’ve loved you ever since you
were born
and probably longer than that”
― Paul Hostovsky, from “Everyone was Beautiful,” Dear Truth (Main Street Rag, 2009)
“He’s been here in my heart before I even knew him. Understand? He’s always been here. Always.”
― Sandra Cisneros , from Woman at Hollering Creek: Stories; “Never Marry a Mexican,”
“You came into my life–not as one comes to visit…but as one comes to a kingdom where all the rivers have been waiting for your reflection, all the roads, for your steps…”

“I love you. I feel as though we were never strangers, you and I, not even for a moment.”
— Friedrich Nietzsche, from a letter to Mathilde Trampedach
“Eventually soulmates meet, for they have the same hiding place.”
— Robert Brault
“Here when I say “I never want to be without you,”
somewhere else I am saying
“I never want to be without you again.” And when I touch you
in each of the places we meet in all of the lives we are,
it’s with hands that are dying and resurrected.
When I don’t touch you it’s a mistake in any life,
in each place and forever.
— Bob Hicok, Other Lives and Dimensions and Finally a Love Poem

— Audre Lorde, from “Zami: A New Spelling of my Name,” published c. 1982
