The meaning of existence can be supplied by living and not by theology left to all the creativity we must find the real significance that won't be mystified their sense or nonsense that will emerge on a precipice it's only the impact of the creative activity |

Cybele's Reverie childhood is very nice childhood brings magic What to do when one has done everything? Read everything, drunk everything, eaten everything? Given everthing in truth and in detail, when one has cried on all the rooftops, wept and laughed in the towns and in the country? childhood is the most real the garden of new visions the house, the house, of other times the house, the house that we have left and the silence that penetrates me |

Il faut etre toujours ivre. Tout est la : c'est l'unique question. Pour ne pas sentir l'horrible fardeau du Temps qui brise vos epaules et vous penche vers la terre, il faut vous enivrer sans treve. Mais de quoi ? De vin, de poesie ou de vertu, a votre guise. Mais enivrez-vous. Et si quelquefois, sur les marches d'un palais, sur l'herbe verte d'un fosse, dans la solitude morne de votre chambre, vous vous reveillez, l'ivresse deja diminuee ou disparue, demandez au vent, a la vague, a l'etoile, a l'oiseau, a l'horloge, a tout ce qui fuit, a tout ce qui gemit, a tout ce qui roule, a tout ce qui chante, a tout ce qui parle, demandez quelle heure il est ; et le vent, la vague, l'etoile, l'oiseau, l'horloge, vous repondront: "Il est l'heure de s'enivrer ! Pour n'etre pas les esclaves martyrises du Temps, enivrez-vous; enivrez-vous sans cesse ! De vin, de poesie ou de vertu, a votre guise."
and the translation: Get Drunk! One should always be drunk. That's all that matters: that's our one imperative need. So as not to feel Time's horrible burden that breaks your shoulders and bows you down, you must get drunk without ceasing. But what with? With wine, with poetry, or with virtue, as you choose. But get drunk. And if, at some time, on the steps of a palace, in the green grass of a ditch, in the bleak solitude of your room, you are waking up when drunkeness has already abated, ask the wind, the wave, a star, the clock, all that which flees, all that which groans, all that which rolls, all that which sings, all that which speaks, ask them what time it is; and the wind, the wave, the star, the bird, the clock will reply: "It is time to get drunk! So that you may not be the martyred slaves of Time, get drunk, get drunk, and never pause for rest! With wine, with poetry, or with vitrtue, as you choose!" |

To some reality appears normal,
To me it seems vested with an important light, Particular, a light Sacred, a light To address this universe, With nobility, emotions, As long as man will exploit man As long as humanity will Split between masters and servants As long as man will exploit man Split between masters and servants, There will be no normality and no peace. |
