Also:
Now you are walking in Paris all alone in the crowd
As herds of bellowing buses drive by
Love’s anguish tightens your throat
As if you were never to be loved again
If you lived in the old days you would enter a monastery
You are ashamed when you discover yourself reciting a prayer
You make fun of yourself and like the fire of Hell your laughter crackles
The sparks of your laugh gild the depths of your life
It’s a painting hanging in a dark museum
And sometimes you go and look at it close up
Guillaume Apollinaire / Zone / Alcools / 1913

what are you looking for? There is no Truth. There’s only action, action obeying a million different impulses, ephemeral action, action subjected to every possible and imaginable contingency and contradiction, Life. Life is crime, theft, jealousy, hunger, lies, disgust,stupidity, sickness, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, piles of corpses. what can you do about it, my poor friend?”
Blaise Cendrars / Moravagine / 1926
