“It passes, but it does not pass away.”

“...what one ought to capture in beauty is that which is treacherous and irresistible...”
László Krasznahorkai, War and War

“Quietly, continually, the rain fell and the inconsolable wind that died then was forever resurrected ruffled the still surfaces of puddles so lightly it failed to disturb the delicate dead skin that had covered them during the night so that instead of recovering the previous day's tired glitter they increasingly and remorselessly absorbed the light that swam slowly out of the east.”
László Krasznahorkai, Satantango
