i have no idea how artists spend months, YEARS on paintings. if my drawing doesn't look exactly as i imagine it in the first 30 minutes i'm abandoning it forever

Tomas Transtromer, from"Streets in Shanghai“ Bright Scythe

There are such things as ghosts. People everywhere have always known that. And we believe in them every bit as much as Homer did. Only now, we call them by different names. Memory. The unconscious. // The Secret History, Donna Tartt

"Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation."

-Oscar Wilde, De Profundis

The Secret History, 1992. 

14.09.

it was misty this morning. reminded me a lot of ‘Death in Venice’

There is another world

But it is made inside this one

they are the dusk that first kisses my cheek, their words a haunting ode to a lost goddess; ancient letters adorn the poems they’ve writtten and i consume each syllable feverishly, searching for my likeness within the epigram of their secret love

I will tell it to you one day and you'll see everything make sense. And please embrace me and whisper sweet things to me.
