    “دوستت دارم
    بلند تر از همیشه
    از آن بلند ها
    که نمی توانی از این گوش بشنوی و از آن گوش...

    دوستت دارم
    سیاه تر از همیشه
    از آن سیاه ها
    که زیر چشمم ام می ریزد
    که نمی توانی بلد نیستی پاک شان کنی

    دوستت دارم اسب‌تر،خرتر،شتر تر از همیشه
    از آن شتر ها
    که عاقبت پشت در اتاقت می نشیند
    نمی توانی بلند شان کنی

    دوستت دارم
    از آن دوستت دارم ها
    که نمی دانی
    که نمی توانی
    که بلد نیستی...”

    Walter Benjamin
    “Every morning brings us news of the globe, and yet we are poor in noteworthy stories. This is because no event comes to us without being already shot through with explanation. In other words, by now almost nothing that happens benefits storytelling; almost everything benefits information. Actually, it is half the art of storytelling to keep a story free from explanation as one reproduces it. . . . The most extraordinary things, marvelous things, are related with the greatest accuracy, but the psychological connection of the event is not forced on the reader. It is left up to him to interpret things the way he understands them, and thus the narrative achieves an amplitude that information lacks.”
    Walter Benjamin, Illuminations: Essays and Reflections

    Clive Barker
    “As to my mouth, of all my features, I wish I could possess my mouth again, just as it had been before the fire. I had my mother’s lips, generous below and above; and what kissing I had practiced, mainly on my hand or on a lonely pig, had convinced me that my lips would be the source of my good fortune. I would kiss with them, and lie with them, I would make victims and willing slaves of anyone my eyes desired, simply by talking a little, and following the talk with kisses, and the kisses with demands. And they’d melt into compliance, everyone of them, happy to perform the most demeaning acts as long as I was there to reward them with a long, tongue-tied kiss when they were done. But the fire didn’t spare my lips; it took them too, erasing them utterly.”
    Clive Barker, Mister B. Gone
