Personal Log 1: Nice place so far.

[_warrioroflight]

This place is really peaceful. It's a nice change from, uh, having to fight and stop bioweapons from blowing up a planet. ^^;

I've talked with Subaru a few times since I got here. He's really cool and nice. ^_^ He let me borrow this book of poems called Fleurs del Mar. I've been reading it most of the day now. Some of it's a bit confusing for me

Depressing is still beautiful...

My favourite is De Profundis Clamavi;

"Have pity, You alone whom I adore
From down this black pit where my heart is sped,
A sombre universe ringed round with lead
Where fear and curses the long night explore.

Six months a cold sun hovers overhead;
The other six is night upon this land.
No beast; no stream; no wood; no leaves expand.
The desert Pole is not a waste so dead.

Now in the whole world there's no horror quite
so cold and cruel as this glacial sun,
So like old Chaos as this boundless night;

I envy the least animals that run,
Which can find respite in brute slumber drowned,
So slowly is the skein of time unwound."

That one was pretty heavy in words. It sounds deep and stuff to me, but I always feel like I can't truly appreciate it... or something? ._.

I think to appreciate it you have to understand it. And understanding is doing, being...

*nods* Yeah, I bet that's my problem! :o
