La Haine, directed by Mathieu Kassovitz, 1995
Hedy Lamarr in Ecstasy (1933)
Death is a bend in the road,
To die is to slip out of view.
If I listen, I hear your steps
Existing as I exist.

The earth is made of heaven.
Error has no nest.
No one has ever been lost.
All is truth and way.

- Fernando Pessoa
"A morte é a curva da estrada" (23 May 1932).
Doesn't everyone sell his soul? I tell you, sir: the devil does not exist, there is no devil, yet I sold him my soul. That is what I am afraid of. To whom did I sell it? That is what I am afraid of, my dear sir: we sell our souls, only there is no buyer.

João Guimarães Rosa, Grande Sertão: Veredas

I'm here with David
This is our first session
We're just gonna talk about your background
Where you're from, any issues you've been dealing with
So, where should we start?
I just saw God, I just saw God
Outside the liquor store he told me I was lost
Lost, lost, lost, lost

This was Sebastian, young captain in the Praetorian Guard. And was not such beauty as his a thing destined for death?” — Yukio Mishima, Confessions of a Mask

(Saint Sebastian, Guido Reni, ca. 1615)

Ah, the moon, which rose to the sky
is not the same that saw you
to be born of my arms
the night falls on our love
and now remains only, of the love,
one word—goodbye

Ah, willing to stay
but having to go away
ah, love is to go and die
throughout life
it is to reflect in the tear
the brief moment
from a pure star
whose light died

Oh woman, star shining
break down, but before you go away
tear out my heart
drive the talons into my breast in pain
and vanishes in blood all our love
everything an illusion

Ah, wanting to stay
but having to go away
ah, how loving is to go and die
throughout life
it is reflecting in the tear
the brief moment
from a pure star
whose light died
in a dark night
sad like me…

And it's ok,
You give me everything I need.
