#Sorrow

[irradiantflux]

"There is something in a lost love that is sweet to remember, even though it was purchased with a thousand tears."

Mary Elizabeth Braddon, Lady Audley's Secret

Eskiden üzüldüğüm zaman ağlıyordum, şimdi ne zaman ağlayacağım hiç belli olmuyor. Bazen en olmaması gereken yerlerde geliyor ve uygun bir yer bulama kadar kendimi sıkıyorum ve sonunda ya hissizleşiyorum ya patlıyorum.

I sat with my anger long enough until she told me her real name was grief.

Forugh Farrokhzad, tr. by Hasan Javadi & Susan Sallée, from Another Birth: Selected Poems of Forugh Farrokhzad; "In the dark"

[Text ID: "In the sorrowful sky / a star was burning / a star was falling / a star was dying"]

[acknowledgetheabsurd]

I understand your discouragements, your sorrows...  If you can't write anymore, do what you want, I will always understand. Of course, it will be sad on days without you. But I trust and love you. Don't let yourself go too far into inertia though. Don't forget me completely. In any case, give up your imaginations about your platitudes or your wrongdoings. I want your letters and I am only looking for the palpitation, the flame, the impetus. I am looking for the signs, the secret that runs through your beautiful face.

Albert Camus to Maria Casarès, Correspondance, February 9, 1950 [#181]
