And I will die, and you will die, and we all will die, and even the stars will fade out one after another in time.

Desolation Angels by Jack Kerouac

"I could recognize him by touch alone, by smell; I would know him blind, by the way his breaths came and his feet struck the earth. I would know him in death, at the end of the world"

- Patroclus

“In my case such an expression as "to be fallen for" or even "to be loved" is not in the least appropriate; perhaps it describes the situation more accurately to say that I was "looked after." - No Longer Human, Osamu Dazai (translated by Donald Keene)

Taking a quick detour from my usual faerie smut life to read a translated version of Osamu Dazai’s No Longer Human. I’m about 30 pages in and can already relate. Also the juxtaposition of the cover design with the contents is a level of illustration genius I’ve always aspired to.
