Mahmoud Darwish, Memory for Forgetfulness: August, Beirut, 1982 (trans. Ibrahim Muhawi) [ID'd]

on context: "[set during] the 1982 Israeli invasion of Lebanon and the shelling of Beirut [...] Memory for Forgetfulness is an extended reflection on the invasion and its political and historical dimensions. It is also a journey into personal and collective memory. What is the meaning of exile? What is the role of the writer in time of war? What is the relationship of writing (memory) to history (forgetfulness)?" (source)

Paul-Albert Besnard (French, 1849–1934)

[iimpressionism]

I've told you that I'm old. I was then too. Not as old as now, but old all the same. There's been a weariness in me for a very long time. I don't know the reason for it.

i should have read the warning signs

I write for myself. For the woman who is now years past the first time I had someone put their hooks into me. For the person who is able to go on living after rebuilding everything. Who had to erase themselves completely just to be left alone.

Athenais by John William Godward (1908)

[iimpressionism]

I can't even look at girlish things without feeling the pit open in my stomach. The pink walls of my bedroom, the flowers on quilts. Blinds always drawn. Named "the pit" for the incessant need to be filled. A demon cast down there with me in the pitch black; beautiful and otherworldly. My consciousness amongst clouds, and pale skin suffused vermilion. The lament imbuing. I sew your mouth. But teeth- chomping at innocence, wanting a taste Always wanting to devour

“Love is so embarrassing. I bled in your bed. I’m sorry. I have built you a shore with all my best words & still, the waves.”
