per aspera ad astra

Zondag 8 Augustus



23.08

Woensdagmiddag, en ik zit er weer,
Het huis waar wij het deden voor de eerste keer

Het lijkt alweer zo lang geleden,
Dat ik je tegen de deurpost uitkleede.

Je ogen verleidelijk, je lippen vragend om eenzoen,
We deden het, we gingen het doen.

Elke woensdag denk ik eraan terug,
Intens genoten ook al was het maar vlug.

Zo vertrouwd en dat voor de eerste keer,
IK mis je, wenneer doen we het weer??????

"Rest not! Life is sweeping by; go and dare before you die.Something mighty and sublime, leave behind to conquer time."
Goethe (1749-1832)



in spite of the gleaming bursts of well-being that were generated by the idea of loving Clarissa instead of Elizabeth, in the deeper hours of the night i began to look at myself, to consider myself and my condition, to measure the life i'd led so far. I did not know what made me this way. I did not know of any other way i could be. I did not know what was inside me or how i could redeem what was hidden there. There must be a key or person or thing, or song or poem or belief, or old saw that could access it, but they all seemed so far away, and after i drifted further and further into self absorbtion, i closed the evening with this desolate thought: There are few takers for the quiet heart.
