"Ovest" è tra le fiabe più belle che abbia mai letto, un allegoria del viaggio del sé. Il simbolo come aiuto al cammino che eternamente inizia e finisce. Quell' armonia di mente, corpo e spirito che è essa stessa la via di casa. Ho amato la metamorfosi delle figure, ibridi continui tra animali, forme, umani, natura. Rivedo gli arcani del Matto e dell'Eremita, e se dovessi spiegarle al meglio userei questa storia.

Io sarò il rovo

Giulia
Giulia is on page 80 of 202 of Le Silence de la mer - Il silenzio del mare
Appena finito "Le Silence de la Mer", primo racconto che dà anche il titolo alla raccolta.
Una narrazione bellissima, in cui nel silenzio che è arma di resistenza ad un popolo oppressore si ritrova però una scrittura fatta non solo di gesti, ma di musica. Tutto segue l'andamento di una sinfonia.
Finisco anche l'altro racconto, "Le Armi della Notte", per fare una recensione più approfondita.

"direi che la morte è semplicemente una parola. È la sensazione di non corrispondere più al tuo nome, alle tue sembianze, come avere i lineamenti di un' altra persona.
Morire ed essere morti sono due cose diverse (..). Si può essere morti in tanti modi. È nascondersi, smettere di parlare, non ricordarsi di mangiare e salutare i vicini, (..) è voler morire ma non osare farlo"

"In America, though, life seems to move faster than anywhere else on the globe and each generation is promised more than it will get: which then creates, in each generation, a furious, bewildered rage, the rage of the people who cannot find solid ground beneath their feet."

(written in 1948, look at us now)

"Have you ever been sick to death of something? Well, I'm sick to death. And I'm scared. I've been fighting for so goddamn long I'm not a person anymore. (..) I want to emancipate myself. (..)
I'm worried about what's happening to me, to me, inside. I don't walk the streets, I crawl. Now when I go to a strange place I wonder what will happen, will I be accepted, if I'm accepted, can I accept?"

Going to Meet the Man

Giulia
Giulia is on page 228 of 256 of Go Tell It on the Mountain
"it was a sound of rage and weeping which filled the grave, rage and weeping from time set free, but bound now in eternity; rage that had no language, weeping with no voice, which yet spoke now of boundless melancholy, of the bitterest patience, and the longest night; of the deepest water, the strongest chains, the most cruel lash (...).
The darkness hummed with murder."

"men spoke of how the heart broke up, but never spoke of how the soul hung speechless in the pause, the void, the terror between the living and the dead; (...) the soul, obsessed with the journey it had made, and still had to make, pursued it's mysterious and dreadful end; and carried, heavy with weeping and bitterness, the heart along."

"his mind was like the sea itself: troubled, and too deep for the bravest men's descent, throwing up now and again, for the naked eye to wonder at, treasure and debris long forgotten on the bottom- bones and jewels, fantastic shells, jelly that once had been flesh, pearls that had once been eyes. And he was at the mercy of the sea, hanging there with darkness all around him."

"he had shouted into silence and only silence answered- and yet, when he cried, his cry had caused a ringing to the outermost limits of the earth. This ringing, his lone cry rolling through creation, frightening the sleeping fish and fowl, awakening echoes everywhere, river and valley, and mountain wall, caused in him a fear so great that he lay for a moment silent and trembling"

Che bellezza il modo in cui vengono descritte le emozioni e le vite dei personaggi. Sono tutti talmente caratterizzati che pare di conoscerli già. Gabriel e Frank mi fanno venire una rabbia oscena. James ti prego ho bisogno di una qualche forma di giustizia per Florence e per tutte le altre donne di questo libro.

"people guard and keep; they suppose that it is themselves and what they identify with that they are guarding, whereas what they are actually guarding and keeping is their system of reality and what they assume themselves to be.
One can give nothing whatever whitout giving oneself- that is to say, risking oneself. If one cannot risk oneself, then one is incapable of giving. One can give freedom only by setting free"

"if the concept of God has any validity or any use, it can only be to make us larger, freer, and more loving. If God cannot do this, then it is time we got rid of Him."

he can't, still he hasn't gotten rid of (let's do that)

"casco subito nel cupo pozzo della mia anima; e là, raccogliendo lamenti e grida e risa e canti orrendi (ché a mille bivaccano al basso i selvaggi spiriti miei), mi confondo, mi esalto, vacillò, impallidisco, tramortisco, mi fermo".

"una resistenza mi parlò dentro, inquietandomi; uno scetticismo voglioso di lagrime, mosse e rattenne sulle labbra un sorriso oscuro. Un fastidio leggerissimo, una mesta caricaturale sensitività m'impensierirono e fermarono dubitosa davanti a tale enormità d'innocenza"

"Una oppressione terribile, come una vampa muta, mi aveva da principio divorato il sangue e affrettato spaventosamente i battiti già cupi del cuore. Io, riascoltando in me, con una limpidità sovrana, l'affanno di un'adolescenza prigioniera e vogliosa, la superbia scatenata di una giovinezza allucinata e sofferta, io mi sarei fatta fuoco per distruggere il Creato. cioè le benedette Opere del Signore."

YEAR OF THE DEPEND ADULT UNDERGARMENT

10/10 rappresentazione accurata del monologo interiore di un marijuana addict. Però David puoi anche non lasciarmi un cliffhanger così a fine capitolo. 10/10 frustrazione.

"I have been ether flooding the void between stars, tangling their breath into networks of song. I have been fish and plankton and humus, and all these have been me.
But(...) they are not the whole of me.
(...) What I return to, the me-ness that I know as pure, inescapable self...is hunger. Desire, Longing, longing to possess, to become, to break like a wave on a rock and reform, and break again, and wash away."

"Le persone creative colmano i vuoti, elevano le cose e gli esseri all'altezza del proprio sguardo. (..)
Ma un giorno, amaro, l'eletto svapora mostrandosi per quello che è: tenero giunco, avvinghiato alle sue radici, già curvo sotto il proprio peso, giunco tra i giunchi, germoglio stentato che si lascia ghermire e, solo per caso, punta la sua cima disorientata verso il cielo, nelle repentine folate dei venti forti."

Giulia is 97% done with My Year of Rest and Relaxation
"The notion of my future suddenly snapped into focus: it didn't exist yet. I was making it, standing there, breathing, fixing the air around my body with stillness, trying to capture something -a thought, I guess- as though such a thing were possible, as though I believed in the delusion described in those paintings - that time could be contained, held captive. (...) Time was not immemorial. Things were just things."

"Was this life or some strange dystopian movie, a dream we were all having and from which we would soon wake to resume our sensible animal lives, in which "nature" was not a category of television show or a variety of experience to cultivate a preference for consuming, but the only thing, the everything?"

"The self becomes a collaboration with other people, a series of fantasies that lead to "the armour of an alienating identity". Have you seen a suit of armour? There are so many pieces (...), the plates clink and move together like one. The self underneath is invisible to others. We are completely alone inside ourselves."
