Pablo Neruda
“And that's how it was, that night,
shadow and space, earth
and time,
something that runs and falls
and passes.
And that's how all the nights
go over the earth,
leaving only a vague
black odor.
A leaf falls,
a drop
on the earth
muffles its sound,
the forest sleeps, the waters,
the meadows,
the bells,
the eyes.

I hear you and you breathe,
my love,
we sleep.”
Pablo Neruda, The Essential Neruda: Selected Poems

Georges Perec
“It is on a day like this one, a little later, a little earlier, that you discover, without surprise, that something is wrong, that, without mincing words, you don't know how to live, that you will never know."

-from "A Man Asleep”
Georges Perec, Things: A Story of the Sixties / A Man Asleep

Shel Silverstein
“Although I cannot see your face
As you flip these poems awhile,
Somewhere from some far-off place
I hear you laughing---and I smile.”
Shel Silverstein

Karel Čapek
“Uskokaa pois, kuolemaa ei ole; ei ole untakaan. Kasvamme vain ajasta toiseen. Elämään on suhtauduttava kärsivällisesti, sillä se on ikuinen.”
Karel Čapek, Gardener's Year
tags: death, life

“Niin viimein auringolle sanon: paista!
Ja leimahtaen herää värit valmiit,
niin että alla joka muodon selvän
näät tuhat merkitystä suunnatonta
ja hetken huiman edessäsi aukee
maailma niinkuin alku-unessas.”
Aila Meriluoto, Lasimaalaus
