A regime which is nominally liberal can be oppressive in reality. A regime which acknowledges its violence might have more genuine humanity.

The whispers of the spirits, The grasping hollows of the hearts, The wind sculpted the stone  In the darkness,

Into eternal quietness.

[Text ID: But I won't rest till you are with me. I never will.]

— Emily Brontë, from “Wuthering Heights.”

[dreams-of-mutiny]

“A Strange melancholy pervades me to which I hesitate to give the grave and beautiful name of sorrow. The idea of sorrow has always appealed to me but now I am almost ashamed of its complete egoism. I have known boredom, regret, and occasionally remorse, but never sorrow. Today it envelops me like a silken web, enervating and soft, and sets me apart from everybody else.”

― Françoise Sagan, Bonjour tristesse

“7:09 a.m.: awake; 7:34 a.m.: finally awake for real; 7:44 a.m.: wide awake… 10:08 a.m.: now exceptionally awake. First time in years that I’m awake; 10:13 a.m.: I’m now overwhelmingly awake; 10:28 a.m.: It’s the first time in years that I’m actually awake…“

— Clive Wearing 

Trapped in an endless spiral of awakenings.

The Sacrifice (Andrei Tarkovsky, 1986).

[dreams-of-mutiny]

“I wanted movement and not a calm course of existence. I wanted excitement and danger and the chance to sacrifice myself for my love.” ― Leo Tolstoy

There is something about music that I cannot distinguish enough, but that I sense is highly and deeply important for human existence. I think there is something more to music, that prodigious minds should had been deciphering a long time ago. I think there is a secret, sacred knowledge in music that has to be profoundly explored by humanity.

Black forests inhabit her; midnight, moonlight, dreams.
