The World’s Loneliest Whale Sings the Loudest Song by Noor Hindi

[revmeg]

He's not only yours. you'll have your own time with the Beloved, as will all the others. but never complain the bed is too warm or sweaty. you'll grow accustomed seeing the satisfaction left on their faces, the blissful daze you thought was yours alone. when you know your place, you'll learn the Adored has stamina to so love the whole world.

from "[Say the polygamists just understand]" in The Third Renunciation: Poems by Matthew E. Henry, p. 99

“I keep trying to convey something which cannot be conveyed, to explain something wich cannot be explained, something in my bones, which can only be experienced in these same bones.”

—  Franz Kafka, Letters to Milena. 

“A poet circles around something, corners it with language and rhythm, but this cornered thing cannot be captured with language. So, I often find myself in the same corner, always one word away from capturing the thing that cannot be captured.”

—  Valzhyna Mort, Interview: Valzhyna Mort – “A spilling voice”.

“I thought I would be understood without words.”

—  Vincent van Gogh, in a letter to his brother Theo.

“ … I wonder if I will ever find a language to speak of the things that haunt me the most.”

—  Bao Phi, Vocabulary.

“There is a place inside me where I hold another language close. I’m the only one who knows it. I am the only language I can understand.”

—  Alice Notley, Songs and Stories of the Ghouls.
