A nuestros deseos les hace falta la música sabia.

"Las iluminaciones", Arthur Rimbaud.

[antigonick]

J'ai tendu des cordes de clocher à clocher ; des guirlandes de fenêtre à fenêtre ; des chaînes d'or d'étoile à étoile, et je danse.

I stretched ropes from belltower to belltower; garlands from window to window; golden chains from star to star, and I dance.

         Arthur Rimbaud, excerpt of Phrases (my translation)

H

Everything monstrous violates Hortense’s atrocious gestures. Her solitude is the erotic machinery; her lassitude, the amorous dynamic. Under surveillance by infancy, she has been, at many epochs, the ardent hygiene of races. Her door is open to poverty. There, the morality of living beings is disembodied in her passion or action. – Oh, terrible shudder of unskilled loves on the blood-stained floor and amongst transparent hydrogen find Hortense!

Arthur Rimbaud, Les Illuminations
