fugue by asher tuil
It wasn't possible to spend even a single day of your life remembering without creating the same amount of emptiness in the world of future memories, that is, the thing that's referred to as the present, or reality. Every moment contained every past moment the way rings on the water contain all new rings within their periphery. All life was actually one single time, all life penetrated itself in every direction. Because of that, it was more important to learn to forget than to remember. Where there was forgetfulness, there was hope as well. Remembering always meant preventing something from happening that might otherwise have happened.
Lars Gustafsson - Bernard Foy’s Third Castling
Reality is as thin as paper and betrays with all its cracks its imitative character. At times one has the impression that it is only the small section immediately before us that falls into the expected pointillistic picture of a city thoroughfare, while on either side, the improvised masquerade is already disintegrating and, unable to endure, crumbles behind us into plaster and saw-dust, into the lumber room of an enormous, empty theatre. The tenseness of an artificial pose, the assumed earnestness of a mask, an ironical pathos tremble on this façade.
Bruno Schulz - The Street Of Crocodiles
As she went by my door I thought I detected a slight hesitation in her stride. I did not move from the chair nor lower the book I was reading. She climbed the next flight slowly, and in the absolute stillness of the building at that late hour the sound of her key in the lock was enough to break one mood and bring on another, and the soft closing of her door was not unlike that breath of sensuality heard between the silences of sleepless nights in rain falling, in voices on the street, in darkness vibrating to the resonance of every small sound. I waited fifteen minutes, then went upstairs.
Don DeLillo - Americana
