an anti-platonic vision
“The only obsession everyone wants: ‘love’. People think that in falling in love they make themselves whole? The Platonic union of souls? I think otherwise. I think you’re whole, and then you’re cracked open. She was a foreign body introduced into your wholeness. And for a year and a half you struggled to incorporate it. But you’ll never be whole until you expel it. You either get rid of it or incorporate it through self-distortion. And that’s what you did and what drove you mad.”
Hard to sanction those words, and not only because of George’s mythopoeticizing turn of mind; just hard to believe in the disastrous potential of a character so seemingly unintimidating as family-bound, protected, suburban Consuela. George wouldn’t let up. “Attachment is ruinous and your enemy. Joseph Conrad: He who forms a tie is lost. That you should sit there looking like you do is absurd. You tasted it. Isn’t that enough? Of what do you ever get more than a taste? That’s all we’re given in life, that’s all we’re given of life. A taste. There is no more.”
“The dying animal”, Philip Roth
Bai frate, termina cu banalitatile astea ce draq! Philip roth, philip roth, philip roth. Un limbaj atractiv care inveleste niste truisme “absolute”…
Termina cu prostiile!
Philip Roth – “Un limbaj atractiv care inveleste niste truisme “absolute”…” iată un truism cu adevărat “absolut”.
Te mai rog să nu schilodeşte limba noastră strămoşească şi să foloseşti diacritice, ce înseamnă aceste “inveleste”, nu există asemenea cuvinte!
