An Invitation for Me to Think Quotes

“I regret not being a grove,
which arms itself with leaves.
I find it hard to be with minutes,
they have completely confused me.
It really upsets me terribly
that I can be seen in reality.”

“I was examining my thoughts.
I saw they had other forms.
I was measuring my emotions.
I found their close borders.
I was testing my bodily movements.
I determined their simple significance.
I was losing my benevolence.
I have no more concentration.
Those who guess will guess.
I have nothing left to guess.”
― Alexander Vvedensky, An Invitation for Me to Think: Selected Poems

“Everything breaks down to its final mortal parts. Time swallows the world.”
