"The enigma is in itself a seduction and its mechanisms are unconscious."

“Ugh! How many stories about love, copulation, marriage and death already exist, not one of which tells the truth! How sick I am of well-constructed plots and brilliant writing!”

― Sadegh Hedayat, The Blind Owl (via @EverySongIveEve)

"But, for all of his achievements in the last 60 years, the famed author appears to have failed where it counted most: protecting African women."

"in dark domain, a stir"

the lunatic is on the lawn
commencing countdown engines on
whatever this brisk dark makes clear
our time for jouking it has gone
blue autumn · hour of the body
nard of Cynothoglys
& of nothingness trace
this cave of morning · covered with messages
in the burnt black · that is fathom five
enfolded · only the hour eloigns
that holds us here · howling & naked
plucking portents · from the pure void

"You people simply do not know how to read."
