How it was not the grotesque mounting of a decapitated animal that shook you—but that the taxidermy embodied a death that won’t finish, a death that keeps dying as we walk past it to relieve ourselves.
“I wanted all things
To seem to make some sense,
So we could all be happy, yes,
Instead of tense.
And I made up lies
So that they all fit nice,
And I made this sad world
A par-a-dise.”
― A Man Without a Country

“Chưa bao giờ tôi mệt như chiều hôm nay, tất cả trôi lềnh bềnh, tôi ngạt thở, tôi nằm dài trên giường trong cơn hấp hối tuyệt vọng. Sống, sống lên, tôi mệt quá rồi, mây trắng vẫn còn bay?”

And the nights are not full enough
And life slips by like a field mouse
Not shaking the grass”

“Just as bad poets, in the second half of a line, look for a thought to fit their rhyme, so people in the second half of their lives, having become more anxious, look for the actions, attitudes, relationships that suit those of their earlier life, so that everything will harmonize outwardly. But then they no longer have any powerful thought to rule their life and determine it anew; rather, in its stead, comes the intention of finding a rhyme.”
