Simone Weil - Gravity and Grace

[ebbelat]

"It's like a hole in my life, an eight-year hole. That's what I find interesting in people's lives, the holes, the gaps, sometimes dramatic, but sometimes not dramatic at all. There are catalepsies, or a kind of sleepwalking through a number of years, in most lives. Maybe it's in these holes that movement takes place."

—Gilles Deleuze, On Philosophy

Ikh un di velt (The World and I) by Avraham Reisen

Ven di gantse velt volt laydn, un mir aleyn volt gut zayn bloyz, volt ikh di velt di gantse, ayngeladn in mayn hoyz.

Ikh volt zi getreyst un getsertlt, un gezogt: "Nit zorg zikh, velt," biz zi volt tsu zikh gekumen, un zikh oykh di fis geshtelt.

Ven di velt volt zayn gliklekh, un ikh aleyn volt ful mit leyd, volt ikh tsu ir gekumen, un gefodert: gib mir freyd!

Ober az mir beyde laydn— say di velt, say ikh aleyn— vos zol ikh ir entfern? Zorgn mayne, ir zind dayn.

Translation:

If the whole world were suffering, and only I were well, I would invite the entire world into my home.

I would comfort and caress it, and say: "Don't worry, world," until it would compose itself, and stand on its own feet.

If the world were happy, and I alone were full of sorrow, I would go to it, and demand: give me joy!

But when we both suffer— both the world and I— what can I answer it? My worries are yours.

“People are built like houses inside — they have stairwells, spacious halls, vestibules that are always too weakly lit to count the doors into the rooms, row upon row of apartments, damp chambers, slimy, tiled bathrooms with cast-iron baths, steps with handrails taut as veins, artery-like corridors, joint-like landings, passages, guest rooms, draughty chambers into which a sudden current of warm air flows, closets, twists and turns and cubby-holes, and larders full of forgotten supplies.”

“For the first time: strange feeling of satisfaction and of fulfillment. Question I asked myself, lying in the grass, facing the heavy, warm evening: “If these days were the last…” Reply: a calm smile in me. Yet nothing I can be proud of: nothing is solved; my very conduct is not clearly defined. Is this the hardening at the end of an experiment, or the soft influence of the evening, or on the other hand the beginning of a wisdom that has ceased to negate anything?”
