EVERY ANGEL IS TERRIFYING

Duino Elegies–Ranier Maria Rilke

Remember To Remember

Remember To Remember

April 25, 2017 Jerry King Comments 0 Comment

The primal law that governs all living:

not love
not hate
not hope
but fear

Its universality is the cause of every abomination
in the shitty chaos called human history. The trick
is not to become unbalanced, punished, ruled by it.

Any fool can be a pessimist; it takes no imagination, no guts.
Remember to remember that.

—Beyond the House of the False Lama by George Crane
