""das Ergebnis war eine Stadt, die grösser, schwerer, schneller und heller war, als die Natur erlaubte. London war unersättlich, labte sich an dem Ertrag des Raubguts und verhungerte trotzdem. London war sowohl unvorstellbar reich als auch bettelarm. London - wunderschön, hässlich, weitläufig, beengt, rülpsend, schniefend, rechtschaffen, scheinheilig, versilbert - stand der Abrechnung kurz bevor"" — Aug 28, 2026 02:47AM

“Every nine years nine men enter the house so that I may deliver them from evil. I hear
their steps or their voices in the depths of the stone galleries and I run joyfully to find
them. The ceremony lasts a few minutes. They fall one after another without my having
to bloody my hands. They remain where they fell and their bodies help distinguish one
gallery from another. I do not know who they are, but I know that one of them
prophesied, at the moment of his death, that some day my redeemer would come. Since
then my loneliness does not pain me, because I know my redeemer lives and he will
finally rise above the dust. If my ear could capture all the sounds of the world, I should
hear his steps. I hope he will take me to a place with fewer galleries fewer doors. What
will my redeemer be like? I ask myself. Will he be a bull or a man? will he perhaps be a
bull with the face of a man? or will he be like me?”

“and you've cried once more because recognition feels like forgiveness, which is a burning furnace that can't stand on its own. Love is a feast but you've learned to abstain. There is a sickness that follows the shame of giving with love only to be met with slaughter.”
