Louise Glück, from “Stars”, Poems: 1962–2020
I love seeing people adopt phrases I say like yes say my words boy
Rainer Maria Rilke, tr. by A. Poulin Jr., Duino Elegies and The Sonnets to Orpheus
My favorite piece of When Somebody Loved Me. It's been a while since I recorded a song, so here's the first one for the year.
Rainer Maria Rilke, from Where Silence Reigns: Selected Prose; "An Experience,"
‘Gbenga Adeoba, Exodus; “A Short Essay on Drowning”
[Text ID: into that November dark.]
. Her pale eyes fixed upon him, and in that moment he remembered the cold, quiet fear of his Keepers as they listened in the dark air to the distant heartbeat of their enemies marching closer. He knew again the frost in his breath, and the sword gripped in his shaking hand. The faces of his brothers. The quiet nods. The ripples of impossible, nervous laughter. Felt the prickle of a hundred eyes, and the calm in his passing. The Truth of their will and their strength given steel. The First Law of Light. Fear is the bite of a cornered beast. The great bonfires of their encampment flickered in their gaze. And bite is all it will be allowed to.They had not forgotten the Way and the Words. Death could only take the defeated. The sun broke over the fields like wildfire. The horns began to sound, and as one they clasped shoulders and turned to one another. They held eyes and spoke their Oath.
For you, I shut the door to Death behind me. For you, no Death shall come while I am shield.

my favorite lyrics of unreal unearth by hozier
first time // francesca // I, carrion (Icarian) // damage gets done // who we are // all things end // to someone from a warm climate (uiscefhuarithe) // anything but // abstract (psychopomp) // unknown/nth
At last, when all of the world is asleep You take in the blackness of air The likes of a darkness so deep That God at the start couldn’t bear
And sit unseen, with only the inner upheld Your reflection can't offer a word To the bliss of not knowin' yourself With all mirrorin' gone from the world
Still the mind, rejectin' this new empty space Fills it with somethin' or someone No closer could I be to God Or why he would do what he's done
Bhfuilis soranna sorcha Ach tagais 'nós na hoíche Trína chéile; le chéile Bhfuilis soranna sorcha Claochlaithe is claochlú an ealaín Is ealaín dubh í Bhfuilis soranna sorcha Ach tagais 'nós na hoíche Trína chéilе; le chéile Bhfuilis soranna sorcha Claochlaithe is claochlú an еalaín Is ealaín dubh í
Although your bright and light […] You arrived to me like nightfall, you come like nightfall You and I sort of mixed together You and I metamorphosized So that same idea of you can’t see where one begins and where one ends that, that is some kind of metamorphosis of some kind]
Wake up babe, new Perseids just dropped.
Covering the intro to Dream Sweet in Sea Major.
For such a short little piece of a song, it's been in my head ever since.
