Not present on the Year
At any other period –
When March is scarcely here"

“…and I walked as in an inward world; everything outside me became a dream; what I had understood till now became unintelligible… I was no longer myself, was another, and yet it was on this account that I became properly myself.”
— Robert Walser, “The Walk” (tr. Middleton)
“Not in me but in our difference lies the abyss. We can never be sure of bridging the gap between us. But that is our adventure. Without this peril there is no us. If you turn it into a guarantee, you separate us.”
— Luce Irigaray, Elemental Passions
Al final de sus días tuvo Walser la fortuna de ser acompañado en sus paseos por el esforzado Carl Seelig, el cual, escribiendo un diario de sus caminatas, escribió uno de los estudios biográficos más conmovedores del siglo XX (Carl Seelig, Paseos con Robert Walser.)
“The Brothers Karamazov” asks what we are living for, and it “seeks the answer in the little life, among the small people, in the frail, the fragile, the fallible, the failed,” Karl Ove Knausgaard writes. https://t.co/b78ZzveoKG
…daß wir nicht sehr verläßlich zu Haus sind
in der gedeuteten Welt.
…that we don’t feel very securely at home
within our interpreted world.
— Rilke, Duino Elegies (tr. Leishman and Spender)
