But you see that dread, that is the essence of it, but in a sense it is also non-dread itself, which makes you capable of opening the book and accepting the gift, the gift the book gives you to understand it.

Blanchot's essay about reading made me remember my journal entry where I wrote that I have never in my life opened a book with the confidence that I will understand it.

Proust writes about the fear of how the other person will react to our love. I have a journal entry about that topic too.

The Fred Again... and Thomas Bangalter set from last month is a "I wish I was there" kind of set.

@DemocritusSr my favorite from him is "tell me if the lovers are losers, tell me if any get more than the lovers," it's something that pops into my mind quite often

Carl Sandburg, “The Fog” (from “Chicago Poems”) – Sandburg was once a very famous, extremely popular poet (such that a young Bob Dylan famously went to visit him), and this likely his most popular, most anthologized poem. Do you know it?

Michaux about Paul Klee: “We live in a world of enigmas, and it is best to respond to it with enigmas, too.”

@max_fire02 That's good stuff. I am still discovering Roth (he lived around the corner from my flat: I often see the plaque in passing by). Have you the title of this?

Another is about an unattractive woman who paints herself, her new body on the paper being colored and forever unsatiated with love. The desire to provoke desires.
English
And they are as good as they sound. One is about a woman who paints the faces of her lovers. She works at making them look more tender. The limbo of those who have lost the power to push things away.
English
Michaux wrote a series of short texts that describe paintings made by patients of a mental asylum.
English
Knowledge as immensifying illumination in which everything goes into resonance with everything contemplated.
English
Towards the end of the poem Yantra, Michaux starts with material reality bound by a thread and continues to list what is bound to it. Endlessness, emptiness, totality, time, space, creation and dissolution.

@Mpolymer There's a statement Trump made during the 90's where he says that changing the tax law is "terrible for the country." It was terrible for his business. He's elevating something personal to the general level, and he won the presidency twice doing exactly that.

There's this girl who is afraid of what I might think about her. She's afraid of whether the impression she makes is good or bad. The truth is that I don't think about her at all. I do wonder about her. It's more a wonder than a thought.
English
In Gadamer there's a lot about Kant and Hegel presented in an accessible way. He writes about the particular and the general. About the fusion of horizons and that it doesn't matter what we are talking about, the important part is that I'm talking about it with you.
