book – satomipoema

Every beginning is only a sequel, after all, and the book of events is always open halfway through.

– Wislawa Szymborska –

for us no difference between reading eating singing

making love not one thing or the other

– Ikkyu –

Dear sensibility! Source inexhausted of all that’s precious in our joys, or costly in our sorrows! Eternal fountain of our feelings! ‘tis here I trace thee and this is thy divinity which stirs within me…All comes from thee, great-great SENSORIUM of the world!

– Laurence Sterne – A Sentimental Journey

I asked the question for the best reason possible, for the only reason, indeed, that excuses anyone for asking any question – simple curiosity.

– Oscar Wilde –

You and I will always be friends…

Yet you poisoned me with a book once …

– Oscar Wilde –

We are such stuff as dreams are made on ; and our little life is rounded with a sleep.

– William Shakespeare –

I dream that I want to take a bath. I get in the tub, but it’s full of books, not water. You can’t scrub up with books.

– Anna Kamienska –

I long ago abandoned myself to a blind lust for the written word. Literature is my sandbox. In it I play, build my forts and castles, spend glorious time. It is the world outside that box that gives me trouble. I have adapted tamely, though not conventionally, to this visible world so I can retreat without much inconvenience into my inner world of books.

– Rabih Alameddine –

Midnight rockers

City slickers

Gunmen and maniacs

All will feature on the freakshow

And I can’t do nothing ‘bout that, no

But if you hurt what’s mine

I’ll sure as hell retaliate

You can free the world you can free my mind

Just as long as my baby’s safe from harm tonight

Lucky dippers

Crazy chancers

Seems to be moving fast

What happened to the nicities

Of my childhood days

Well i can’t do nothing ’bout that, no

But if you hurt what’s mine

I’ll sure as hell retaliate

I was lookin’ back to see if you were lookin’ back at me

To see me lookin’ back at you

Tell us what it is dangerous

Friends and enemies I find it’s contagerous

And they’re spreading through your system like a virus

Yes the trouble in the end it makes you anxious ..
