"Par-delà toutes les raisons sociales et psychologiques que je peux trouver à ce que j'ai vécu, il en est une dont je suis sûre plus que tout : les choses me sont arrivées pour que j'en rende compte. Et le véritable but de ma vie est peut-être seulement celui-ci : que mon corps, mes sensations et mes pensées deviennent de l'écriture, c'est-à-dire quelque chose d'intelligible et de général, mon existence complètement dissoute dans la tête et la vie des autres."
Annie Ernaux, L'évènement

"Si je ne pensais pas que la mission d'un écrivain est d'analyser sincèrement ce qu'il éprouve dans les graves circonstances de la vie, et si je ne me proposais pas un but que je crois utile, je m'arrêterais ici, et je n'essaierais pas de décrire ce que j'éprouvais ensuite dans une série de visions insensées peut-être, ou vulgairement maladives."
Gérard de Nerval, Aurélia

Lust for love


I give myself entirely,
Give it up and give it down,
Until there's nothing left but its shadow,
Shadow of myself covering you,
Covering me,
Burrying me.

It seems like you're crying now,
Or maybe it's just my old self
Who's starving to death,
Agonizing
Like a plant you forgot to water,
Like a chick you forgot to warm up.

Yet I am searching for 
Hope in my heart, peace in my mind,
Aching  for your priceless company.

And here we are now,
Standing in the shadows of huge trees
Whose big black leaves are hiding you from me,
Are hiding me from you,
And it seems like you’re disappering
- Or is it just me who’s fading away?

I don't quite know for sure
Who I am, who we are.
Every single thought of mine
Has been taking away,
And replaced by the  feeling 
Of overwhelming emptiness. 

Yet I am searching for
Hope in my heart, peace in my mind,
Aching  for your priceless company.

Don't give yourself up.
Know where you're standing from,
Learn to befriend your weakness and grow your strength,
Learn to quiet your worries and keep your love alive, 
Is what my mother should have said.

You got to find that place 
Where you can warm and rest.
Go find that spot  in your soul,
Don't make it a hole 
But a comfortable nest,
Don't make it a desert
But a flowery shelter.


Be careful of the dark,
Don't light your candle in the wind,
Yet keep it shining, not afraid to go ahead
Yet keep it lighting, not afraid to blind darkness,
Is what my mother should have said.

Let grow your heart
Rather than giving it away,
For just as a waterflower
Lightly floating on the surface,
It needs its roots to survive.
Let its beauty be admired,
Let its perfume blossom .

Don't run away from your sweet home
To find shelter in a ruined mansion
Don't let weeds grow in your garden
To go get lost in the woods,
Is what my mother should have said.


Yet I am searching for 
Hope in my heart, peace in my mind,
Aching  for your priceless company.

Go find yourself
Not in myself
Go find your heart
But not in mine.
Beauty will be the guide
You'll follow, just remember

Never to fade away.



Don't be afraid of renewing, 
Don't be ashamed to keep trying,
There are no failures, only failed attempts,
There is no destruction, only construction,
Is what my mother should have said.


Yet I am searching for

Hope in my heart, peace in my mind,
Aching  for your priceless company.
