Beauty in the apertures of pain

@anenlighteningellipsis / anenlighteningellipsis.tumblr.com

I want to say Without temper If possible without the least sense of the heroic Without even the measured ambition to speak the truth which is only another vulgarity To say I am not what I was Indeed I was nothing and now I am at least the possibility of something and this I will defend.

Of late, she had felt that coldness in herself, and though she feared it, she loved it too, for it made her strong.

Catherynne M. Valente, from Deathless

#feeling it again...#prickling at the back of my neck#or in my subconscious rather#it's always there#i can only sustain#the dismantling and the thawing#for so long and then it seems i relapse#but perhaps that's natural#perhaps it's how i'm 'meant' to be#//me#catherynne m. valente#deathless#quotes#to see if there's a pub#***

I have been trying, for some time now, to find dignity in my loneliness. I have been finding this hard to do. It is easier, of course, to find dignity in one’s solitude. Loneliness is solitude with a problem.

Maggie Nelson, Bluets

—emerging from this pit, I step into a room and I see that the lamp is lit. In the light of the lamp, I see some books, I see a chair, I see a table, I see a pen; I see a bowl of ripe fruit, a bottle of milk, a flute made of wood, the clothes that I will wear. And as I see these things in the light of the lamp, all perishable and transient, how bound up I know I am to all that is human endeavor, to all that is past and to all that shall be, to all that shall be lost and leave no trace. I claim these things then— mine— and now feel myself grow solid and complete, my name filling up my mouth.

Jamaica Kincaid, from “At the Bottom of the River,” At the Bottom of the River
