Sad Night Dynamite
used to be people would say things like "avast" or "hither and yon". nowadays folks mostly say stuff like "ethernet cable"
literally destroy superabundance. starve the flesh, shave the hair, expose the bone, clarify the mind, define the will, restrain the senses, leave the family, flee the church, kill the vermin, vomit the heart, forget the dead. limit time, forgo amusement, deny nature, reject acquaintances, discard objects, forget truths, dissect myths, stop motion, block impulse, choke sobs, swallow chatter. scorn joy, scorn touch, scorn tragedy, scorn liberty, scorn constancy, scorn hope, scorn exaltation, scorn reproduction, scorn variety, scorn embellishment, scorn release, scorn rest, scorn sweetness, scorn light. it’s a question of form as much as function. it is a matter of revulsion.

Stalker (1979) dir. Andrei Tarkovsky
“I can’t think of any greater happiness than to be with you all the time, without interruption, endlessly, even though I feel that here in this world there’s no undisturbed place for our love, neither in the village nor anywhere else; and I dream of a grave, deep and narrow, where we could clasp each other in our arms as with clamps, and I would hide my face in you and you would hide your face in me, and nobody would ever see us any more.”
― Franz Kafka, The Castle
“I am terrified by this dark thing That sleeps in me; All day I feel its soft, feathery turnings, its malignity.”

“Of all the female characters in the Arthurian legend, Morgana is the most powerful, even more so than Merlin. Merlin may be a powerful prophet, Morgana is the practitioner. Merlin sees what can go wrong, Morgana accomplishes it. Morgana considers Merlin a somewhat tiresome old man, and it is fitting that it is her derivative character, Nimue, who finally divests Merlin of his power and confines him to his crystal cave. Morgana must still be smiling through the mists.”
— Sara Douglass, “The Betrayal of Arthur”
