Interview with Wilson Harris (2010) on being Knighted at Queen Elizabeth II Birthday Honours
Tenho por ti uma paixão
Tão forte tão acrisolada,
Que até adoro a saudade
Quando por ti é causada

“Even the distance feels so near
All for the love of you.”
Loreena McKennitt (1957) Canadian musician and composer
The Mask and Mirror (1994), The Mystic's Dream
Context: And so it's there my homage's due
Clutched by the still of the night
And now I feel you move
Every breath is full
So it's there my homage's due
Clutched by the still of the night
Even the distance feels so near
All for the love of you.
Yoko Ono (1933) Japanese artist, author, and peace activist
25 Things Even My Best Friends Didn’t Know Until Now (1 October 2009).
Context: In a day, sometimes I feel so much love for the world, I think my heart is bursting. Sometimes, I feel so scared, I want to shrink myself even further. I think that’s what happened to us gods and goddesses. Like the dinosaurs, we realized that it’s too dangerous to be so large. So we kept shrinking ourselves to what we are now. We might get even smaller. I see the sign in the engineers making smaller gadgets, smaller and smaller. Pretty soon, our fingers will be too large to operate them. So what are we doing? I trust in the human wisdom. We are incredibly intelligent beings. So we might know something without thinking that we know…. Well, even my best friend didn’t know until now that I was thinking of crazy things like this.
“i feel that(false and true are merely to know)
Love only has ever been, is, and will ever be, So”

“I hate and love. Why I do so, perhaps you ask. I know not, but I feel it, and I am in torment.”
Odi et amo. quare id faciam, fortasse requiris.
nescio, sed fieri sentio et excrucior.
