After dusk, I looked for another language outside the window,
my eyes glued to a constellation
(they call these types "dreamers")
my discovery possibly a journey into the past,
toward a galaxy alread dead, nonexistent,
the kind of news that needs millions of years
to reach me.

Vedi, in questi silenzi in cui le cose
s'abbandonano e sembrano vicine
a tradire il loro ultimo segreto, 
talora ci si aspetta
di scoprire uno sbaglio di Natura,
il punto morto del mondo, l'anello che non tiene,
il filo da disbrogliare che finalmente ci metta
nel mezzo di una verità.

Pascal levava o próprio abismo dentro dele.
É tudo abismo para mim — desejo, ação,
sonho, linguagem... Sinto arrepiar-me a pele
as lufadas do pânico e, em qualquer direção,
  no alto, embaixo, em torno, sofro por toda parte
o silêncio, o sem-fundo, o espaço que me atrai
e me aterra...

The end

When I know what people think of me
I am plunged into my loneliness. The grey

hat bought earlier sickens.
I have no purpose no longer distinguishable.

A feeling like being choked
enters my throat.

If you have a plethora of competing values, the competition on itself engenders anxiety. And that's well mapped neurophysiologically. And you can say in a sense that anxiety is actually an index of disunity. And so the price you pay for the patchwork is the consequence of the multitude of values that you have competing; they're going to compete: there'll be situations they're going to go head-to-head. It's very stressful. Conflicts of duty even, like, it can be a good against an evil, but it could be two goods against one another. And then you'll have to mediate between them or you're trapped between them in a place you can't make a decision, very existentially demanding.

EXTRACTS FROM THE BALL POEM BY JOHN BERRYMAN


What is the boy now, who has lost his ball.
What, what is he to do?

.
                                                                      Now
He senses his first responsability
In a world of possessions. People will take balls,
Balls will be lost always, little boy, 
And no one buys a ball back. Money is external.
He is learning, well behind his desperate eyes,
The epistemology of loss, how to stand up
Knowing what every man must one day know
And most know many days, how to stand up

.

I suffer and move
