"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the sky and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes, "Awww!"

- Jack Kerouac

"He not busy being born is busy dying."

if you thought of it as like
the mountain cherry blossoms
which bloom and fade in a day.

Midi chante, ô tristesse!...
et la merveille est annoncée par ce cri: ô merveille!
et ce n'est pas assez d'en rire sous les larmes...
"Mais qu'est-ce là, oh! qu'est-ce, en tout chose, qui soudain fait défaut?..."
Je sais. J'ai vu. Nul n'en convienne!- Et déjà la journée s'épaissit
comme un lait.

( exil, 5 - Saint-John Perse)

i'm touching the essence of your life:
a whitening flesh, a smile
an inspiration.

( Herberto Helder- Love in a visit)
