Louis Cernuda

« … Freedom I know only the freedom of being imprisoned in someone
whose name I cannot hear without shuddering;
someone for whom I forget this petty existence
for whom day and night are for me what I want,
… With the freedom of love,
the only freedom that exalts me,
the only freedom for which I die… »(Louis Cernuda)

Boris Pasternak

« If they loved each other, it was not out of necessity, by succumbing to the “flame of passion“, according to a false image. If they loved each other, it was because everything around them wanted it: the earth under their feet, the sky above their heads, the clouds, the trees. »
(Boris Pasternak, Doctor Jivago)

Mathieu Boogaerts

« How many questions have you asked before
To yourself, millions, or even more?
But which one matters, and which no more?
How many answers?
Not even four

One, two
Only one, two
Maybe one, two, three
Not so many

How many you said that did you have in mind?
At least one hundred something of that kind
But how many instead did you happen to find?
Still in your head, not left behind

One, two
Only one, two
Maybe one, two, three
Not so many (one)
Not so many (one, two)
Not so many, no (one, two, three)
Matter really

What do you remember finally? »

« Your soul sings when mine cries
and is written in the burning wind
in the sand of the dunes
in letters of fire.
The sky is the song of the earth.
The earth is your song
and my breath marries yours
to exalt this love
in a sigh. »
