Water cycle

• L'acqua non oppone resistenza. L'acqua scorre. Quando immergi una mano nell'acqua senti solo una carezza. L'acqua non è un muro, non può fermarti. Va dove vuole andare e niente le si può opporre. L'acqua è paziente. L'acqua che gocciola consuma una pietra. Ricordatelo, bambina mia. Ricordati che per metà tu sei acqua. Se non puoi superare un ostacolo, giragli intorno. Come fa l'acqua. (Margaret Atwood, il canto di Penelope)
• Water does not resist. Water flows. When you plunge your hand into it, all you feel is a caress. Water is not a solid wall, it will not stop you. But water always goes where it wants to go, and nothing in the end can stand against it. Water is patient. Dripping water wears away a stone. Remember that, my child. Remember you are half water. If you can’t go through an obstacle, go around it. Water does. 
  (Margaret Atwood, the Penelopiad) 

Drowned into life

‘I wish to blur the firm boundaries which we self-certain people tend to delineate around all we can achieve.’
Hannah Hoch


“I think people will have said enough to you about serious things, and so I am going to talk to you about what I feel is valuable, and that people think too little of, about cheerfulness and, something that is part of it as well, not being afraid about problems in life, but finding a natural solution for them.” Sophie Taeuber-Arp, 1937

Ether Stanzas  (Emmy Hennings)

Pardon! I must jump off this ball;
in Paris a beautiful festival reigns.
Crowds collect in the Gare de l'Est
where bright silk banners wave as well.
You won’t find me among them, though.
I’ve run off to this vast big room.
I mix myself in every dream,
a thousand looks and each I know.
A sick man lies in misery.
His last look hypnotizes me.
We long to go back to some lost summer day.
A black cross fills the room.

L'assenza

Bisogno di rimanere rinchiuso per giorni interi in un grande appartamento vuoto. Supplizio di dover "dividere "l'appartamento con qualcuno. ... Essere un silenzioso osservatore: allora potrei vivere in un grande albergo. ...
Oswald Spengler "A me stesso" Adelphi 1993
