#tropic of capricorn

[thirdity]

Everything goes forward like oiled clocks; for each minute of the dial there are a million noiseless clocks which tick off the rinds of time. We are traveling faster than the lightning calculator, faster than starlight, faster than the magician can think. Each second is a universe of time. And each universe of time is but a wink of sleep in the cosmogony of speed. When speed comes to its end we shall be there, punctual as always and blissfully undenominated. We shall shed our wings, our clocks and our mantelpieces to lean on. We will rise up feathery and jubilant, like a column of blood, and there will be no memory to drag us down again.

Henry Miller, Tropic of Capricorn

I crossed the Tropic of Capricorn. Less than 3% of the world's population lives south of it :)

I reached out for something to attach myself to — and I found nothing. But in reaching out, in the effort to grasp, to attach myself, left high and dry as I was, I nevertheless found something I had not looked for — myself.

I shall be law and order as it exists in nature as it is projected in dream. I shall be the wild park in the midst of the nightmare of perfection, the still, unshakeable dream in the midst of frenzied activity, the random shot on the white billiard table of logic. I shall know neither how to weep nor protest, but I shall be there always in absolute silence to receive and to restore.

Excerpt From: Henry Miller. “Tropic of Capricorn.”

Em minha amargura muitas vezes procurei razões para condená-los, pois era o melhor meio de condenar-me. Isso porque sou também como eles, em muitos sentidos. Durante muito tempo achei que havia fugido, mas com o passar dos anos percebi que não era melhor, que era até mesmo um pouco pior, pois via mais claramente que eles e apesar disso era impotente para modificar minha vida. Olhando minha vida passada, parece-me que nunca fiz coisa alguma por minha própria vontade, mas sempre pela pressão dos outros. As pessoas muitas vezes imaginam-me como um sujeito aventuroso. Nada poderia estar mais longe da verdade. Minhas aventuras sempre foram adventícias, sempre me foram impostas, sempre foram suportadas e não empreendidas. Eu sou a própria essência daquela orgulhosa e jactanciosa gente nórdica que nunca teve o menor senso de aventura, mas apesar disso percorreu a terra, virou-a de cabeça para baixo, espalhando relíquias e ruínas por toda parte. Espíritos inquietos, mas não aventurosos. Espíritos angustiados, incapazes de viver no presente. Covardes desgraçados, todos eles, inclusive eu próprio. Só existe uma grande aventura e essa é para dentro do próprio eu. Para essa não importa tempo, nem espaço nem mesmo feitos.

— Henry Miller, em "Trópico de Capricórnio". Ibrasa, 1966
