“Ares’ spirit is the spirit behind the competitiveness of rugged individualism, the spirit that drives man to win and gives him the strength and perseverance to do so, the spirit that thrusts him into adventure and new conquests.

“… don’t speak of gardens. Don’t speak of the moon. Don’t speak of roses or of the sea. Speak of what you know. Speak of the thing that rings in the marrow, that plays in your eyes with shadow and light. Speak of the endless ache in your bones. Speak of vertigo. Speak of respiration and of desolation and of your treason. It’s so dark, so silent, this process that grips me. Just speak of the silence.”

— Alejandra Pizarnik, from “Extracting the Stone of Madness,” Extracting the Stone of Madness: Poems 1962 - 1972 (via oiseauperdu)
