Enough imitating men. Don’t be afraid. Flee from the mold into which they have forced you. Release yourselves and without any temerity speak about your dreams, your nightmares, your pain and suffering. Speak of your dreams and be your true selves. --Translated by @Sholeh_Wolpe

@TheAmScho I speak from the deep end of night. Of end of darkness I speak. I speak of deep night ending. O kind friend, if you visit my house, bring me a lamp, cut me a window, so I can gaze at the swarming alley of the fortunate. – trans. Sholeh Wolpé

One can cunningly belittle every perplexing puzzle. Alone, occupy oneself with crosswords, content with unimportant words, yes, unimportant letters, no more than five or six. (from Windup Doll. translated by: @Sholeh_Wolpe )

Swelled corpses pen the morgue’s thoughts, the cad hides his yellowness in the dark, and the cockroach … ah when the cockroach harangues, why should I stop? Trans. by #sholehwolpe @voice_film
