– Emil Cioran (1911-1985), from “Tears and Saints” (1937), translated from the Romanian by Ilinca Zarifopol-Johnston
if you’re reading this i hope you find the strength to get through whatever it is that’s causing you so much trouble or pain at the moment
“Quiet friend who has come so far, feel how your breathing makes more space around you. Let this darkness be a bell tower and you the bell. As you ring, what batters you becomes your strength. Move back and forth into the change. What is it like, such intensity of pain? If the drink is bitter, turn yourself to wine. In this uncontainable night, be the mystery at the crossroads of your senses, the meaning discovered there. And if the world has ceased to hear you, say to the silent earth: I flow. To the rushing water, speak: I am.”
— Sonnets to Orpheus by Rainer Maria Rilke (via wellconstructedsentences)
Mishima: A Life In Four Chapters (Paul Schrader, 1985)
Production design was done by famed graphic designer Eiko Ishioka, her first film job. She would later win an Oscar for costume design for her work on the Coppola version of Dracula and work on Tarsem Singh’s The Cell and The Fall. John Bailey was the director of photography.
