Rereading the letters of Bruno Schulz, a thought that came at night, while thinking of healing and its unnerving precariousness. I paused at this one, as I always do. Sent to Tadeusz Breza in 1934.

"Hung on the wall, the map covered it almost entirely and opened a wide view on the valley of the River Tysmienica which wound itself like a wavy ribbon of pale gold, on the maze of widely spreading ponds and marshes, on the high ground rising towards the south, gently at first, then in ever tighter ranges, in a chessboard of rounded hills, smaller and paler as they receded towards the misty yellow fog of the horizon. From that faded distance of the periphery, the city rose and grew towards the centre of the map, an undifferentiated mass at first, a dense complex of blocks and houses, cut by deep canyons of streets, to become on the first plan a group of single houses, etched with the sharp clarity of a landscape seen through binoculars. In that section of the map, the engraver concentrated on the complicated and manifold profusion of streets and alleyways, the sharp lines of cornices, architraves, archivolts and pilasters, lit by the dark gold of a late and cloudy afternoon which steeped all corners and recesses in the deep sepia of shade. The solids and prisms of that shade darkly honeycombed the ravines of streets, drowning in a warm colour here half a street, there a gap between houses. They dramatized and orchestrated in a bleak romantic chiaroscuro the complex architectural polyphony."

--Bruno Schulz, The Street of Crocodiles (trans. Celina Wieniewska)

Potrzebny mi jest towarzysz. Potrzebna mi jest bliskość pokrewnego człowieka. Pragnę jakiejś poręki świata wewnętrznego, którego istnienie postuluję. Wciąż tylko trzymać go na własnej wierze, dźwigać go wbrew wszystkiemu siłą swej przekory – jest trudem i udręką Atlasa. Czasem zdaje mi się, że tym wytężonym gestem dźwigania trzymam nic na swoich barkach. Chciałbym móc na chwilę złożyć ten ciężar na czyichś ramionach, rozprostować kark i spojrzeć na to, co dźwigałem.

Scarcely disgorged from the brown smoke and mist of the morning, the day slid straight into an amber-coloured afternoon, paused for a moment, transparent and golden as dark ale, and then descended into the fragmented, fantastical vaults of the sprawling, colourful night.

Bruno Schulz, "Visitation" (tr. Stanley Bill)
