Travelling Together

by W.S. Merwin

If we are separated I will try to wait for you on your side of things

your side of the wall and the water and of the light moving at its own speed even on leaves that we have seen I will wait on one side

while a side is there

#sob #poetry #ws merwin #unfortunately this did immediately make me think of phaidros and helios from the hymn to dionysus 😭

Stop making this about you. It's not about you! I'm sorry, but I am not the reason that you don't have any friends. It's because you're fucking insane. Okay? Your little party? It almost killed everyone. And now you've ruined book club.

Hamnet (2025) dir. Chloé Zhao

#I think what I loved most about this scene was how jessie captured the way grief turns you into a weirdo #someone you love dies and suddenly you’re the oddball at the theater muttering and shrieking to yourself and no one understands #that your heart has turned itself inside out and the only reality you know is the internal logic of your grief #hamnet #film

Orpheus, filled with grief, journeys to the underworld to take her back. He charms this three-headed dog, Cerberus. He beguiles Hades until finally… he’s allowed to take his love back with him to the world of the living but… under one condition. She must follow behind him, and he must not turn around to look at her. Now, as they begin their ascent, Orpheus can’t hear her footsteps, so he listens… and listens and listens and listens. But all he can hear is the sound of his heartbeat. And the rest is silence. And as he approaches the gates of the underworld… he can’t contain himself any longer. He turns around to look at her, and she is… trapped in the underworld forever.

Many places have a "forest that shouldn't be entered." Even people who are used to working in the mountains feel there is something there. They are suddenly overcome with fear and it becomes the custom to avoid certain places. These places exist. I don't know what is there, but I think they are real . . . The world is more than we can fathom with our five senses. The world doesn't exist just for humans. So I think it is all right to have such things. This is why I think it's a mistake to think about nature from the idea of efficiency, that forests should be preserved because they are essential for human beings . . . I am concerned, because for me the deep forest is connected in some way to the darkness deep in my heart. I feel that if it is erased, then the darkness inside my heart would also disappear, and my existence would grow shallow.

To be saved by ideas: a fantasy I harbored. In those days, there was always something from which I needed saving. The past, its expansive grammar, the way my grief was a kind of deranged hope. I wanted a different country, an old language to burst forth like a hidden river. “Love is the cause of what ails you,” wrote Lauren Berlant. Oof. Most likely, no man is a refuge. But we can try all the same. It is raining again. I’m struggling to remember everything. Thank god: it is not too late to tell a new story. Thank god: a sonnet is not that deep of a chasm. Soon, I may climb out toward the long expanse of our remaking.

It’s funny, most people can be around someone and then gradually begin to love them and never know exactly when it happened; but Ruth knew the very second it happened to her. When Idgie had grinned at her and tried to hand her that jar of honey, all these feelings that she had been trying to hold back came flooding through her, and it was at that second in time that she knew she loved Idgie with all her heart. That's why she had been crying, that day. She had never felt that way before and she knew she probably would never that way again.
