"I do not know what I hold more clearly in my mind:
the pain of what I can never have,
or the pain of knowing
I have its equivalence, which is a shocking
contrast, a kind of magnificent reality."

@FreemanPoet I'm glad for that

"And there shall be for thee all soft delight
That shadowy thought can win,
A bright torch, and a casement ope at night,
To let the warm Love in!"

[Bianca Stone @biancastone]

"I know my life will fade away
I know I must vainly pine,
For I am made of mortal clay,
But she is divine!

Actaeon is also Narcissus... La Belle Dame sans Merci is a reflection, a projection, of our own soul."

...even with running dogs and lusty hunters rushing him.
So Menelaus thrilled at heart – princely Paris there,
right before his eyes.

Iliad, Book III, lines 23-31

[Bianca Stone @biancastone]

Soon as the warrior Menelaus marked him,
Paris parading there with his big loping strides, flaunting before the troops, Atrides thrilled like a lion lighting on some handsome carcass,
lucky to find an antlered stag or wild goat
just as hunger strikes – he rips it, bolts it down..

[Bianca Stone @biancastone]

Listen, O princes, and learn what you may hope for.
Crete lies in the midst of the sea, the island of mighty Jove,
where Mount Ida is, the cradle of our race.

The Aeneid

[Bianca Stone @biancastone]

What I'm going through
at this very moment
can never be changed.
It cannot be arrested.
It feels like the sun in your chest.

--Franz Wright

However well the poet bears the unclear word within themselves, they are dedicated to precision. To arrive without fully knowing one's function in language, but utter faith in it nonetheless. What educator is this. What retirees do they make @OdeAndPsyche

My love from the valley of dice, my love and the valley of dice
Among the flowers smelling of lightning
My love on whom the light has forgotten nothing

ok but also that title is a Paul Celan poem -- and Im ok with that

[Bianca Stone @biancastone]

@em_Lazzy What has psychoanalysis given us if our world is still being run by the biggest, most flagrant dangerous Narcissists you could hope to find, projecting onto everyone else their most obvious traits... Knowledge is not enough. Something is terribly here...lacks...

"A mother is a continuous separation, a division of the very flesh. And consequently a division of language — and it has always been so”

we will get near enough, in the intimate dialogue of prayer and poem

[Bianca Stone @biancastone]

Trasumanar significar per verba / non so poria,....

"To get beyond the human cannot be signified / through words."

Dante
Paradiso (Canto I, lines 70–71)
