"Extinguish my sight, and I can still see you;
plug up my ears, and I can still hear;
even without feet I can walk toward you,
and without mouth I can still implore.
Break off my arms, and I will hold you
with my heart as if it were a hand;
strangle my heart, and my brain will still throb;
and should you set fire to my brain,
I still can carry you with my blood." ~Rilke
Soon to be some art!!!
(in my sorta non-art way)

Rilke takes my breath away.
"Everything is blooming most recklessly; if it were voices instead of colors, there would be an unbelievable shrieking into the heart of the night." is a great little excerpt.
and this just makes me giggle every time:
"He reproduced himself with so much humble objectivity, with the unquestioning, matter of fact interest of a dog who sees himself in a mirror and thinks: there's another dog."
at any rate, huzzahs for the Rilke reference!! Rilke is very good for all things inspirado.
