Lost In Translation

Lösch mir die Augen aus: ich kann dich sehn,
wirf mir die Ohren zu: ich kann dich hören,
und ohne Füße kann ich zu dir gehen,
und ohne Mund noch kann ich dich beschwören.
Brich mir die Arme ab, ich fasse dich
mit meinem Herzen wie mit einer Hand,
halt mir das Herz zu, und mein Hirn wird schlagen,
und wirfst du in mein Hirn den Brand,
so werd ich dich auf meinem Blute tragen.

Rainer Maria Rilke

In The End

"Let it go. It's no use.

This is one thing I've learned about life:

you'll never end up with the one you love.

R. L., Porto, February 2012, 4 am.

***

Sarah: Love doesn't end, just because we don't see each other.

Maurice: Doesn't it?

Sarah:People go on loving God, don't they? All their lives. Without seeing him.

Maurice:That's not my kind of love.

Sarah:Maybe there is no other kind.

The End of the Affair (1999)

Garbage

Love is everywhere.

That’s why it is so simple.

You only have to wait and let the garbage pass by.

 Lisbon, 11.15pm



Soundtracks: Pain

Some old wounds never truly heal,

and bleed again at the slightest chord.

 

Touch

We're always behind this metal and glass.

I think we miss that touch so much,

that we crash into each other, just so we can feel something.Crash (2004)

 

 

 

 

Soundtracks: Humiliation

The embarrassment after the anger

is the biggest humiliation a person can experience.

but men can fake whole relationships.

Hopeless Places (3)

To be creatures who love,

we must be creatures who can despair at what we lose,

and depression is the mechanism of that despair.

Andrew Solomon
