“The human soul is an abyss”

“We are two abysses - a well staring at the sky.”

“But my sadness is comforting Because it’s right and natural And because it’s what the soul should feel When it already thinks it exists And the hand pick flowers And the soul takes no notice.”

“The inventor of the mirror poisoned the human heart.”

“And, like the great damned souls, I shall always feel that thinking is worth more than living.”

“I'd like to write the encomium of a new incoherence that could serve as the negative charter for the new anarchy of souls.”

“There are metaphors more real than the people who walk in the street. There are images tucked away in books that live more vividly than many men and women. There are phrases from literary works that have a positively human personality. There are passages from my own writing that chill me with fright, so distinctly do I feel them as people, so sharply outlined do they appear against the walls of my room, at night, in shadows... I've written sentences whose sound, read out loud or silently (impossible to hide their sound), can only be of something that acquired absolute exteriority and a full-fledged soul.”
