How to find the Maid in the Moon, from 1896. This discovery was also featured in an astronomy book, which we noted previously [here]. Recall also our proof that the Mona Lisa’s facial features correspond to the lunar landscape.

“Can I ask you another question? How did it start?”
“How could I begin to tell you? Things like that are so long and so complicated, and sometimes I really think they are a little beyond me. It would mean going so far back that I feel tired before I start. But on the whole I think things happened to me as they do to anyone else, no differently.”
Marguerite Duras, from The Square (Grove Press, 1959)

One must be drenched in words, literally soaked in them, to have the right ones form themselves into the proper pattern at the right moment.

Zapatistas enter Mexico City in late 1914, after Zapata and Villa broke with the Constitutionalists at the Convention of Aguascalientes and refused to acknowledge Carranza’s government, which soon fled to Veracruz. The arrival of the army of southern peasants was of great concern to the citizens of the city, who had been fed a steady diet of horror stories of Zapatista behavior by the media.

I held myself too open, I forgot
that outside not just things exist and animals
fully at ease in themselves, whose eyes
reach from their lives’ roundedness no differently
than portraits do from frames; forgot that I
with all I did incessantly crammed
looks into myself; looks, opinion, curiosity.
Who knows: perhaps eyes form in space
and look on everywhere. Ah, only plunged toward you
does my face cease being on display, grows
into you and twines on darkly, endlessly,
into your sheltered heart.
As one puts a handkerchief before pent-in-breath-
no: as one presses it against a wound
out of which the whole of life, in a single gush,
wants to stream, I held you to me: I saw you
turn red from me. How could anyone express
what took place between us? We made up for everything
there was never time for. I matured strangely
in every impulse of unperformed youth,
and you, love, had wildest childhood over my heart.
Memory won’t suffice here: from those moments
there must be layers of pure existence
on my being’s floor, a precipitate
from that immensely overfilled solution.
For I don’t think back; all that I am
stirs me because of you. I don’t invent you
at sadly cooled-off places from which
you’ve gone away; even your not being there
is warm with you and more real and more
than a privation. Longing leads out too often
into vagueness. Why should I cast myself, when,
for all I know, your influence falls on me,
gently, like moonlight on a window seat.
Rainer Maria Rilke, “To Lou Andreas-Salome”

The Blue Octavo Notebooks- Franz Kafka
The more I read of Kafka, the less I understand of him. His writings are, at least partially, enigmatic and obscure to me. They are deeply introspective, but I read them vaguely, as if he is talking about a person far away. There seems to be no body to speak of. I have to remind myself the body and feelings Kafka is speaking of could very well be his own. Kafka talks about himself as if through a back door, through dialogue, through fiction, through philosophy, through the mouths of others.
