. . . one of the monstrous creations left over like fragments from the first garment of time. It really belonged nowhere, neither on the world nor under it, a bit of chaos that had taken on a shape and roamed at large.
Tanith Lee, from Night’s Master
“All my contradictions come from the fact that I love life more than anyone, while at the same time and almost incessantly, I experience a sentiment of nonbelonging, of exile and abandonment.”
“To retreat into yourself and listen to a silence as old as the Being, even older—the silence from before Time.”
“It's sad to say, but all that remains of someone—of a writer—is his work. Our earthly remains are nothing—absolutely nothing. Let us write, then, if we do not have the strength to disappear without a trace. To create a book is a sign of metaphysical abdication. Let us abdicate.”
“Death is nothing; someone’s death is everything.”
“I dream frequently of traveling to continents that I do not want to visit. When I finally have to leave, I awake, with great relief.”
“From a literary point of view, an unwonted error is worth more than a known, verified, trivial truth.”
Emil Cioran - Caiete 1957-1972
Superimposed Non-Belonging
I wrote this poem for my poetry writing class. The prompt was to place a character into this music video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4X5z8AQc3s and write a poem from the view point of the dancers/environment to the displaced person, advice good/bad, conversation, description, and etc.
