Arriving from always, you’ll go away everywhere.
— Arthur Rimbaud, from “To a Reason,” translated from the French by John Ashbery, Poetry (April 2011)
Ah, not to be cut off
Ah, not to be cut off,
not through the slightest partition
shut out from the law of the stars.
The inner — what is it?
if not the intensified sky,
hurled through with birds and deep
with the winds of homecoming.
Rilke
From Ahead of All the Parting, translated by Stephen Mitchell
This Weekend Forget ‘Gatsby,’ and See ‘The World Before Her’ Instead
I want to see this movie!
Freedom is not doing whatever we want, but really wanting to do what we must.
