“Me and my pain
You & your vain”
― Sijdah Hussain, Red Sugar, No More

“In vain you beg, in vain you ache,
in vain you’ve opened your wrecked heart wide.
Perhaps in heaven the rainclouds quake
because we both have cried?

This pain of ours is without a wing.
The fainthearted cry can never fly.
Weep and pray! What god is coming
by the path of the stars up high?

Abandon yourself to the dust
and upon it fall in surrender.
Our great mother is ever so just
to every sinner who kisses her.

Within a Hell of godless emptiness
submit yourself ever more to sleep’s spell.
All is a dream, all is nothingness:
the flower of the world is the asphodel.

(Trans. Michael Shindler)”
― Gabriele D'Annunzio

“Not speaks one who spoke,
There speaks one who wilt speak,
May another find what he will speak!
Not a teller of tales after they happen.
This has been done before ;
Nor a teller of what might be said,
This is vain endeavor, it is lies.
And none will recall his name to others.
I say this in accord with what I have seen:
From the first generation to those who come after,
They imitate that which is past.”
― Miriam Lichtheim
