[les-portes-du-sud]

Combustion froide,

Une femme, silhouette affirmée, allume un petit objet à la flamme d’un briquet. Mèche noire, regards hors champ, atmosphère domestique mais tension palpable. Geste simple, mais chargé d’intention. Le décor est neutre, presque complice : une prise murale, une décoration banale, rien qui ne distrait du feu. L’instant est brut, sans fioriture — une scène qui parle d’action plus que d’émotion.

Pour les amis la douceur du printemps, pour les ennemis la froideur de l'hiver.

Lei Feng

[mesillusionssousecstasy]

Être aimé plus qu'on aime est une des croix de la vie. Parce que cela nous contraint soit à feindre un sentiment de retour qu'on n'éprouve pas, soit à faire souffrir par sa froideur et ses rebuts.

Henry de Montherlant (Les jeunes filles)
