moodboard: the song of achilles

I could recognize him by touch alone, by smell; I would know him blind,  by the way his breaths came and his feet struck the earth. I would know him in death, at the end of the world.

“Name one hero who was happy.” I considered. Heracles went mad and killed his family; Theseus lost his bride and father; Jason’s children and new wife were murdered by his old; Bellerophon killed the Chimera but was crippled by the fall from Pegasus’ back. "You can’t.“ He was sitting up now, leaning forward. "I can’t.” ― Madeline Miller, The Song of Achilles

What is human? An ability to reason? To imagine? To love or grieve?

If so, we are more human than any human ever will be.

There is a mouth to these things. The thistles you insist cannot reach out sink into those undone pieces, clawed out cloth picked until the loops form fingers. Until we dilated pupils give way to gaze. It wishes to make love to us with its teeth. It wishes to tug until we unwind, left only to our apologies our “you know how this goes” our “didn’t we both know what this meant?” It owns a mouth. Which is to say, you can no longer ask without the forest buckling, those tricky knees, a concave surrender into worn-in, imminent skin. “It tried,” the burial will say, “It tried not to be what it was born as.”

Kaz leaned back. “What’s the easiest way to steal a man’s wallet?” “Knife to the throat?” asked Inej. “Gun to the back?” said Jesper. “Poison in his cup?” suggested Nina. “You’re all horrible,” said Matthias.

       Autumn seemed to arrive suddenly that year. The morning of the first September was crisp and golden as an apple.
