I am writing to you from the end of the world. You must realize this. The trees often tremble. We collected the leaves. They have a ridiculous number of veins. But what for? There’s nothing between them and the trees any more, and we go off troubled. Could not life continue on earth without wind? Or must everything tremble, always, always?
Henri Michaux, from I Am Writing to You from a Far-off Country, trans. Richard Ellmann (via nemophilies)
