Ceguera

Since I left you, mine eye is in my mind                                        Since I left you, Anne

And that which governs me to go about                                        I have seen nothing but you.

Doth part his function and is partly blind                                       Everyday

Seems seeing, but effectually is out;                                            Have been your face

For it no form delivers to the heart                                               And every night your hand,

Of bird of flower, or shape, which it doth latch:                             and every road

Of his quick objects hath the mind no part,                                   Your voice calling me.

Nor his own vision holds what it doth catch:                                  And every rock and every flower and tree

For if it see the rudest or gentlest sight,                                       Has been a touch of you.

The most sweet favour or deformed'st creature,                            Nowhere

The mountain or the sea, the day or night,                                    Have I seen anything else but you,

The crow or dove, it shapes them to your feature:                         Anne

Incapable of more, replete with you,

My most true mind thus makes mine eye untrue.

Soneto 113. William Shakespeare                                                                                                                             A letter to Anne. Langston Hughes

"...Hubo un tiempo en que a lo mejor veía duro, tal vez porque todavía era capaz de mirar, y el que mira ve dos veces, ve lo que está viendo y además es lo que está viendo o por lo menos podría serlo o querría serlo o querría no serlo, todas ellas maneras sumamente filosóficas y existenciales de situarse y de situar el mundo. Pero este sujeto un día hacia los veinte años empezó a no mirar más, porque en realidad tenía la piel suavecita y las últimas veces que había querido mirar de frente el mundo, la visión le había tajeado la piel en dos o tres sitios y naturalmente mi amigo dijo che, esto no puede ser, entonces una mañana empezó solamente a ver, cuidadosamente a nada más que ver, y por supuesto desde entonces todo lo que veía lo veía blando, lo ablandaba con sólo verlo, y el estaba contento porque no le gustaban de ninguna manera las cosas duras..."

Vivian: Real genuine guy. Who is he?

Edward: He's my lawyer. He's all right.

Vivian:  you could freeze ice on his wife's ass.

Edward: maybe we'll try that later.

Vivian: are these people your friends?

Edward: I spend time with them, yeah.

Vivian: Well, no wonder.

Edward: No wonder what?

Vivian: No wonder why you came looking for me

"Ada... Ada... I am unhappy. 'Cause I want you. 'Cause my mind is seized on you and can think of nothing else. This is why I suffer. I am sick with longing. I don't eat, I don't sleep. So, if you have come with no feeling for me, then go. Go. Go. Get out. Leave!"

The calm, 

Cool face of the river

Asked me for a kiss.

“Beazer came over at about 2 am, he said: “I am on a date, and she is only 17 

and I've got to get her back to Pasadena, and all I've got left in the car is reverse”.

 I said: “how can I help?”. He said: “I need gas money”. So he sold me a couple of jokes. 

"He said: “You can have these jokes, you don’t even need to tell folks that they are mine 

because you've paid for them for God’s sake”, and I said: “That sounds like a good deal to me”. 

Anyway, he drove home in reverse on the Pasadena freeway in the slow lane; 

... it was a ´55 Caddy”.

Historia de "OL 55". Concierto VH1  Storytellers,1999. Tom Waits.

Well my time went so quickly,
I went lickety-splitly out to my old '55
As I pulled away slowly, feeling so holy,
God knows I was feeling alive.

Now the sun's coming up,
I'm riding with Lady Luck,
Freeway cars and trucks,
Stars beginning to fade,
And I lead the parade

Just a-wishing I'd stayed a little longer,
Oh, Lord, let me tell you
That the feeling's getting stronger.

And it's six in the morning,
Gave me no warning; I had to be on my way.
Well there's trucks all a-passing me,
And the lights are all a-flashing, 
I'm on my way home from your place.

And now the sun's coming up,
I'm riding with Lady Luck,
Freeway cars and trucks,
Stars beginning to fade,
And I lead the parade

Just a-wishing I'd stayed a little longer,
Oh, Lord, let me tell you
That the feeling's getting stronger.

And my time went so quickly,
I went lickety-splitly out to my old '55
As I pulled away slowly, feeling so holy,
God knows, I was feeling alive.

Now the sun's coming up,
I'm riding with Lady Luck,
Freeway cars and trucks,
Freeway cars and trucks,
Freeway cars and trucks...

Para Say, porque vive.

Para que esta calma te acune y te cante.

Ett fyrfaldigt leve för Say. Hon leve!

Para que sigas viviendo.
