thoughts in chaos

long is the way and hard that out of hell leads up to the light. [john milton] the end is in the beginning and yet we go on. [samuel beckett]

endgame

(..)

hamm:
in my house.
(pause. with prophetic relish.)
one day you'll be blind like me. you'll be sitting here, a speck in the void, in the dark, forever, like me.
(pause.)
one day you'll say to yourself, i'm tired, i'll sit down, and you'll go and sit down. then you'll say, i'm hungry, i'll get up and get something to eat. but you won't get up. you'll say, i shouldn't have sat down, but since i have i'll sit on a little longer, then i'll get up and get something to eat. but you won't get up and you won't get anything to eat.
(pause.)
you'll look at the wall a while, then you'll say, i'll close my eyes, perhaps have a little sleep, after that i'll feel better, and you'll close them. and when you open them again there'll be no wall any more.
(pause.)
infinite emptiness will be all around you, all the resurrected dead of all the ages wouldn't fill it, and there you'll be like a little bit of grit in the middle of the steppe.
(pause.)
yes, one day you'll know what it is, you'll be like me, except that you won't have anyone with you, because you won't have had pity on anyone and because there won't be anyone left to have pity on you.
(pause.)

clov:
it's not certain.
(pause.)
and there's one thing you forgot.

hamm:
ah?

clov:
i can't sit down.

recent chaos:

  • whisper
  • almost...
  • haunted
  • take me as i fall
  • rider on the storm
  • something for me (and you) to remember:
  • now the background:
  • chatting with the same anonymous
  • logics
  • non-sense
