— be not caused —

Beauty — be not caused — It Is — Chase it, and it ceases — Chase it not, and it abides —

Overtake the Creases

In the Meadow — when the Wind Runs his fingers thro’ it — Deity will see to it That You never do it —

“It was made like a piece of automatic writing. I was filming Le Joli mai, completely immersed in the reality of Paris 1962, and the euphoric discovery of “direct cinema” (you will never make me say “cinéma vérité”) and on the crew’s day off, I photographed a story I didn’t completely understand. It was in the editing that the pieces of the puzzle came together, and it wasn’t me who designed the puzzle.”

— Chris Marker on La Jetee.

Curtis Mayfield

We’ve Only Just Begun ( 1972)

[onetwofeb]

Before The Surround

before the surround of what night – we would lean into that,

how it was said, a suggestion smaller than what waves and

calls for our attention – we’re walking here with what we

secret away and take when we’re gone – later,

and it’s even more narrow on the morrow – this passage is a

signal to look away and notice how it continues steady, even

without what your grip found – imagine that, an interest in

what’s required as well as its display – some things

(it was a perfect music, thirty years is no thing now,

your face there, our minor finitude),

I say only to know its weight and sound as it hits ground,

so when stepping away I am with its feel at my back.

what hasn’t been said directly is further on ahead and we’ve

been told to not be surprised by its precision as it, too, knows

an impression will be left – that said, still: you will have to change

some of your life – it can be very convincing.

The more passionately thought denies its conditionality for the sake of the unconditional, the more unconsciously, and so calamitously, it is delivered up to the world. Even its own impossibility it must at last comprehend for the sake of the possible.
