22 October.  Too late. The sweetness of sorrow and of love. To be smiled at by her in the boat. That was most beautiful of all. Always only the desire to die and the not-yet-yielding; this alone is love. —F. Kafka

This desire to be together in order to not feel alone is an unfortunate symptom, in my opinion. Every person needs to learn from childhood how to spend time with oneself. That doesn’t mean he should be lonely, but that he shouldn’t grow bored with himself because people who grow bored in their own company seem to me in danger, from a self-esteem point of view.  — Tarkovsky’s advice to the young

HOW I WOULD PAINT HAPPINESS

Something sudden, a windfall, a meteor shower. No — a flowering tree releasing  all its blossoms at once, and the one standing beneath it  unexpectedly robed in bloom,  transformed into a stranger  too beautiful to touch. Lisel Mueller from Alive Together: New And Selected Poems,  Louisiana State Univ Press,1996.
