sometimes I still need you
Welt am Draht
the peace of wild things
![“All day I’ve kept hearing a sort of lament that drifts through the air of this place. It says, ‘lost, lost, never to be found again’. Palm gardens by the sea and olive groves on Mediterranean islands, all have that lament drifting through them, ‘lost, lost…’. The isle of Cyprus, Montecarlo, San Remo, Torremolenas, Tangiers. They’re all places of exile from whatever we loved. Dark glasses, wide-brimmed hats, and whispers, ‘Is that her?’. Shocked whispers… Oh, believe me, after failure comes flight. Nothing ever comes after failure but flight. Face it.”
Tennessee Williams, Sweet Bird of Youth [Act II - Sc. II], 1959.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m477shkl6a1qhjtbuo1_r1_1280.jpg)

There is a light and it never goes out.
I’m better of running to see in your green shirt.
I’m better of running to see you.
Keine Ferne macht dich schwierig,
kommst geflogen und gebannt.
Goethe, “Selige Sensucht”. 1817.
Le monde est ma prison
si je suis loin de ce que j’aime

Ho diuen les fotografies,
que aquí vas ser feliç i no ho sabies.
