- [Lessons of Darkness](https://akirarabelais.com/2026/01/17/lessons-of-darkness/): Minnesota Declaration By dint of declaration the so-called Cinéma Vérité is devoid of vérité. It reaches a merely superficial truth, the truth of accountants. One well-known representative of Cinéma Vérité declared publicly that truth can be easily found by taking a camera and trying to be honest. He resembles the night watchman at the Supreme Court who resents the amount of written law and legal procedures. ‘For me,’ he says, ‘there should be only one single law: the bad guys should go to jail.’ Unfortunately, he is part right, for most of the many, much of the time. Cinéma Vérité confounds […]
- [The Twelve Days of Krampus](https://akirarabelais.com/2025/12/01/the-twelve-days-of-krampus/): 🎄 By the pricking of my thumbs,Something wicked this way comes.Open, locks,Whoever knocks!
- [The Street of Crocodiles](https://akirarabelais.com/2025/11/01/the-street-of-crocodiles/): MY FATHER kept in the lower drawer of his large desk an old and beautiful map of our city. It was a whole folio sheaf of parchment pages which, originally fastened with strips of linen, formed an enormous wall map, a bird’s eye panorama. Będziemy wiecznie żałowali, żeśmy wtedy wyszli na chwilę z magazynu konfekcji podejrzanej konduity. Nigdy nie trafimy już doń z powrotem. Będziemy błądzili od szyldu do szyldu i mylili się setki razy. Zwiedzimy dziesiątki magazynów, trafimy do całkiem podobnych, będziemy wędrowali przez szpalery książek, wertowali czasopisma i druki, konferowali długo i zawile z panienkami o nadmiernym pigmencie i […]
- [On ðone ærystan dæg þæs [monðes] bið ealra haligra tid](https://akirarabelais.com/2025/10/15/al-halwyn-yeven/): OE Old Eng. Martyrol. (Julius) 1 Nov. 243 On ðone ærystan dæg þæs [monðes] bið ealra haligra tid. OE Wulfstan Canons of Edgar (Junius) (1972) liv. 13 Ærest on easteræfen, and oðre siðe on candelmæsseæfen, þriddan siðe on ealra halgena mæsseæfen. 1325 Chron.

- [L'angelo caduto diventa un diavolo maligno](https://akirarabelais.com/2025/10/14/il-mostro-di-frankenstein/): “Oh, it is not thus—not thus,” interrupted the being; “yet such must be the impression conveyed to you by what appears to be the purport of my actions. Yet I seek not a fellow-feeling in my misery. No sympathy may I ever find. When I first sought it, it was the love of virtue, the feelings of happiness and affection with which my whole being overflowed, that I wished to be participated. But now, that virtue has become to me a shadow, and that happiness and affection are turned into bitter and loathing despair, in what should I seek for sympathy? […]
- [The Final Roadside Circle of Picnic Paradise](https://akirarabelais.com/2025/10/05/the-final-roadside-circle-of-picnic-paradise/): Everything is now understandable. It’s odious, that I understand…. Better if I understood nothing, better if, upon regaining consciousness, I shrugged my shoulders and climbed out of the bath. Would it have been understandable to Strogoff and Einstein and Petrarch? Imagination is a priceless gift, but it must not be given an inward direction. Only outward, only outward… What a tasty worm some corrupter has dropped from his rod into this stagnant pool! And how accurately timed! Yes indeed, if I were commander of Wells’ Martians, I would not have bothered with fighter tripods, heat rays, and other such nonsense. Illusory […]
- [カオスの名 呼べば応えず 沈黙だけ](https://akirarabelais.com/2025/09/27/by-the-name-of-chaos/): 1684 T. Burnet Th. Earth II. 109 Nature relapses hastily into that chaos-state. 1975 Li & Yorke in Amer. Math. Monthly LXXXII. 986 In this paper we analyze a situation in which the sequence {F n(x)} is non-periodic and might be called `chaotic’.

- [Theories Periodic under Operators are as States Amplitudes](https://akirarabelais.com/2025/05/19/theories-periodic-under-operators-are-as-states-amplitudes/): In doing technical calculations, we perform transformations and superpositions that lead to large sets of quantum states which we now regard as templates, or candidate models for processes that can always be superimposed at a later stage to describe the phenomena we observe. Lattice of ratios wave scaling harmonic time constraints as such the circle, largest obtained angle, is beautiful invariance. A template state can be used to serve as a model of some actually observed phenomenon. It can be any quantum superposition of ontological states. The inner product expressions then represent the probabilities that ontological state is actually realized. According […]
- [and nothing happened](https://akirarabelais.com/2024/12/27/and-nothing-happened/): After introducing the Incompleteness Theorem (Die Vollständigkeit der Axiome des logischen Funktionenkalküls), Gödel turned his attention to Einstein’s theory of relativity (Zur Elektrodynamik bewegter Körper). He found new cosmological solutions to Einstein’s equations, showing time to behave in unexpected ways. These solutions, known as Gödel universes, describe a warped spacetime where it is possible for a spacecraft, traveling at a specific speed with sufficient fuel, to navigate to the past, present, or future. If in closed time-like curves (Gödel-Metrik) one would be caught up in the rotation of the universe (including space and time), and could perhaps follow a path through […]
- [Mama Black Widow, Mama moaned, “Thet fool chile.”](https://akirarabelais.com/2024/05/12/mama-black-widow-mama-moaned-thet-fool-chile/): “But, God, you taught me to love and to help everybody regardless of race and color. And it was you, Lord, who directed me to go everywhere I was needed. You sent me to the Northside to lay my healing hands on a poor white spinster sick in mind and body. And some black lying snake in this church is trying to show my good works as evil. And about the church’s money, you know how I sacrifice many of my comforts to save church money. I would never steal the church’s money for—” At the end of our first week […]
- [Burgundy, Third Witch & Cranmer](https://akirarabelais.com/2024/05/06/burgundy-third-witch-cranmer/): … 私のソフトウェアは音楽に関する奇妙なアイデアを生み出しています。
- [Star of the Unborn, this soft but sharp, feeble but shrilly screeching eruption of human rage rising from the extensive turnip field made me forget everything else](https://akirarabelais.com/2024/03/28/star-of-the-unborn/): The Ancestress asked permission to touch my hand. I respectfully surrendered it to her icy smooth fingers which, no matter how impeccable they looked, felt horrible. At this point GR³ threw in a remark with her sonorous but suggestive contralto. “I remember those petrified cakes distinctly. I liked them better than the Sympaians of today.” But suddenly he broke off and sagged down in his armchair, and his face seemed to shrivel up as he said to me with gloomy foreboding, “He only promises it, but the Others will bring it to pass.” Under the screen of my numbing need of […]
- [When beetles fight these battles in a bottle with their paddles and the bottle's on a poodle and the poodle's eating noodles … Malbolge Fox in Socks, Sir!](https://akirarabelais.com/2024/02/04/malbolge-fox-in-socks/): (Fox Socks Box Knox) (Knox in box. Fox in socks.) (Knox on fox in socks in box.) (Socks on Knox and Knox in box. Fox in socks on box on Knox.)
- [The Sorrows of Priapus, We Weep Because The Human Race Is No Better Than It Is](https://akirarabelais.com/2023/11/27/the-sorrows-of-priapus/): • Chapter i, (∩｀-´)⊃━☆ﾟ.*･｡ﾟ Man must be classed among the brutes, for he is still a very awkward and salacious biped. What shape he will assume in the future is vague. There are many traits of early man he has lost, and it is plain that he is much more given to falsehood, robbery and lawsuits than the primitive. The first two-legged man scratched himself because he had an itch. Men now lie and steal for this pleasure. Primeval natures wallowed without thought, but soon as men began thinking how pleasant it was to rub themselves and to have deliriums from […]
- [§ 31. Das Da-sein als Verstehen, Am morgen ein Bier und der Tag gehört dir … In vino veritas](https://akirarabelais.com/2023/10/01/trink/): Trink, trink, Brüderlein, trink Lass doch die Sorgen zu Haus Die Befindlichkeit ist eine der existenzialen Strukturen, in denen sich das Sein des »Da« hält. Gleichursprünglich mit ihr konstituiert dieses Sein das Verstehen. Befindlichkeit hat je ihr Verständnis, wenn auch nur so, daß sie es niederhält. Verstehen ist immer gestimmtes. Wenn wir dieses als fundamentales Existenzial interpretieren, dann zeigt sich damit an, daß dieses Phänomen als Grundmodus des Seins des Daseins begriffen wird. »Verstehen« dagegen im Sinne einer möglichen Erkenntnisart unter anderen, etwa unterschieden von »Erklären«, muß mit diesem als existenziales Derivat des primären, das Sein des Da überhaupt mitkonstituierenden Verstehens […]
- [The Work … and man made this curse a pleasure](https://akirarabelais.com/2023/08/15/the-work/): Instead of man striving for a bright present in the world, for a solar and sparkling existence, instead of living for himself – not in the sense of selfishness, but of inner growth – he became a sinful and impotent slave of the reality outside „Oamenii muncesc în general prea mult pentru a mai putea fi ei înşişi. Munca este un blestem. Iar omul a făcut din acest blestem o voluptate. A munci din toate forţele numai pentru muncă, a găsi o bucurie într-un efort care nu duce decât la realizări irelevante, a concepe că te poţi realiza numai printr-o muncă […]
- [A brief abstract of The Mahabharata … in ten thousand words](https://akirarabelais.com/2023/07/10/mahabharata/): Consisting of 18 books, or parvas, this story revolves around the conflict between two factions of cousins, the Kauravas and Pandavas, for the throne of Hastinapura. It includes the famous Bhagavad Gita, a sacred Hindu scripture and a philosophical conversation between Prince Arjuna and Lord Krishna. The epic explores various themes such as duty, righteousness, family, war, and the nature of reality. It contains many notable characters: Krishna, Arjuna, Yudhishthira, Bhima, Nakula, Sahadeva, Draupadi, Duryodhana, and Karna. Known for its narrative, the moral, and philosophical dilemmas presented; it has a profound influence on Indian culture, literature, and religious beliefs. महाभारत, संक्षिप्त […]
- [Norstrilia, the story is simple …](https://akirarabelais.com/2023/05/11/norstrilia/): 地の香り、生命の証拠、不思議な驚き。 水の記憶、万年のコード、星を征服。 豊かさに、あふれる生と死、ノーストリリアは知らぬ。 But he didn’t want girls. He wanted postage stamps … “You may not know it, my darling,” spieked the great bird-man, “but long before these people build cities, there were others in the Earth – the ones who came after the Ancient World fell. They went far beyond the limitations of the human form. They conquered death. They did not have sickness. They did not need love. They sought to be abstractions lying outside of time. And they died, E’lamelanie – they died terribly. Some became monsters, preying on the remnants of true men for reasons which ordinary […]
- [Fire, … it’s good to have room for new things](https://akirarabelais.com/2023/05/08/fire-its-good-to-have-room-for-new-things/): Even in a large city, the streets after a certain advanced hour of night are relatively still. What one hears and sees are apparitions and sounds to which both our eyes and our ears have long since grown accustomed. There are none of the usual sounds. People are at home, sitting around the cozy family table, or else in bars hunkered over their beers and political discussions, or in the concert hall, reverently listening to the pieces of music being performed, or at the theater, following the suspenseful goings-on upon the brightly lit stage, or else they are standing in pairs, […]
- [Le Système des objets, into the domestic universe](https://akirarabelais.com/2023/05/06/le-systeme-des-objets/): 家具変わる、 空間舞う風、 心の踊り。 The Modern Object Liberated in Function The style of furniture changes as the individual’s relationships to family and society change. Corner divans and beds, coffee tables, shelving – a plethora of new elements are now supplanting the traditional range of furniture. The organization of space changes, too, as beds become day-beds and sideboards and wardrobes give way to built-in storage. Things fold and unfold, are concealed, appear only when needed. Naturally such innovations are not due to free experiment: for the most part the greater mobility, flexibility and convenience they afford are the result of an involuntary adaptation […]
- [ism, n.](https://akirarabelais.com/2023/04/18/ism-n/): A form of doctrine, theory, or practice having, or claiming to have, a distinctive character or relation: chiefly used disparagingly, and sometimes with implied reference to schism. Etymology: Representing French -isme, Latin -ismus, < Greek -ισμός, forming nouns of action from verbs in -ίζειν, e.g. βαπτίζειν to dip, baptize, βαπτισμός the action of dipping, baptism. An allied suffix was -ισμα(τ-), which more strictly expressed the finished act or thing done, and which in some cases is the source of modern -ism. Besides its free use as a suffix forming verbs on ordinary nouns and adjectives, -ίζειν was (as mentioned under -ize […]
- [廃屋の馬](https://akirarabelais.com/2023/04/11/abandoned-house-horse/): 荒屋に馬 忘れられた場所 静寂の中, 足音に声 馬のみ耳を垂れ 静かな夜, かすかな囁き 聴きわたる静寂に 遠い思い出, 壁と床 きしむ余韻に 馬の立つ, 馬は知る 忘れられた場所を 時の果てまで il y avait autrefois une vieille maison abandonnée, perdue dans les bois, que personne ne visitait plus. la porte de la maison grinçait dans le vent, le toit était fissuré et laissait passer la pluie. pourtant, dans cette maison abandonnée, il y avait un secret. un cheval y vivait, silencieux et immobile, gardant ce lieu oublié depuis des années. un soir, alors qu’il faisait noir, un promeneur passa par cette maison et entendit un murmure. il regarda autour de lui, mais il n’y avait personne d’autre […]
- [The Country Boy](https://akirarabelais.com/2023/03/20/the-country-boy/): Soy el tigre.Te acecho entre las hojas anchas como lingotesde mineral mojado.El río blanco crece bajo la niebla. Llegas.Desnuda te sumerges. Espero. THE CHILEAN FOREST Under the volcanoes, beside the snow-capped mountains, among the huge lakes, the fragrant, the silent, the tangled Chilean forest … My feet sink down into the dead leaves, a fragile twig crackles, the giant rauli trees rise in all their bristling height, a bird from the cold jungle passes over, flaps its wings, and stops in the sunless branches. And then, from its hideaway, it sings like an oboe … The wild scent of the laurel, […]
- [A Man in Love, … next year I shall plant some Tomatoes](https://akirarabelais.com/2023/02/02/a-man-in-love/): Walking down a narrow street one evening, I stole a melon. The fruit seller, who was lurking behind his fruit, caught me by the arm. Miss, I’ve been waiting for a chance like this for forty years. For forty years I’ve hidden behind this pile of oranges in the hope that somebody might pinch some fruit. And the reason for that is this: I want to talk, I want to tell my story. If you don’t listen, I’ll hand you over to the police. I’m listening, I told him.
- [The topographical and anatomical information in particular is lost on me … I see nothing. It's because there is nothing.](https://akirarabelais.com/2022/12/28/i-see-nothing/): I see nothing. It’s because there is nothing. Or it’s because I have no eyes. Or both. (That makes three possibilities, to choose from.) But do I really see nothing? It’s not the moment to tell a lie. But how can you not tell a lie? What an idea! A voice like this, who can check it? It tries everything. It’s blind, it seeks me blindly, in the dark. It seeks a mouth, to enter into. Who can query it? There is no other. (You’d need a head? you’d need things? I don’t know. I look too often as if I […]
- [To dream burnished surfaces are a figuration and promise of the infinite … how little we know](https://akirarabelais.com/2022/12/21/promise-of-the-infinite/): The Library of Babel The Universe, which others call the Library, is composed of an indefinite, perhaps infinite number of hexagonal galleries. In the center of each gallery is a ventilation shaft, bounded by a low railing. From any hexagon one can see the floors above and below—one after another, endlessly. The arrangement of the galleries is always the same: Twenty bookshelves, five to each side, line four of the hexagon’s six sides; the height of the bookshelves, floor to ceiling, is hardly greater than the height of a normal librarian. One of the hexagon’s free sides opens onto a narrow […]
- [With love to you all, including Triggs, I remain, Yours very affectionately](https://akirarabelais.com/2022/12/16/yours-very-affectionately/): To Thy goodness we commend ourselves this night beseeching Thy protection of us through its darkness and dangers. We are helpless and dependent; graciously preserve us. For all whom we love and value, for every friend and connection, we equally pray; however divided and far asunder, we know that we are alike before Thee, and under Thine eye. May we be equally united in Thy faith and fear, in fervent devotion towards Thee, and in Thy merciful protection this night. Elizabeth felt herself growing more angry every moment; yet she tried to the utmost to speak with composure when she said: […]

- [Dulce Domum … it was good to think he had this to come back to, this place which was all his own](https://akirarabelais.com/2022/12/09/dulce-domum/): The sheep ran huddling together against the hurdles, blowing out thin nostrils and stamping with delicate fore-feet, their heads thrown back and a light steam rising from the crowded sheep-pen into the frosty air, as the two animals hastened by in high spirits, with much chatter and laughter. They were returning across country after a long day’s outing with Otter, hunting and exploring on the wide uplands, where certain streams tributary to their own River had their first small beginnings; and the shades of the short winter day were closing in on them, and they had still some distance to go.

No Thing](https://akirarabelais.com/2022/11/13/king-lear-fear-loathing-a-study-an-approach-a-clearing-no-thing/): Everything returns to normal after Чорнобильська катастрофа. That is, everything but art. Most of the great works are lost, and it is up to people like William Shakespeare Junior the Fifth to restore the lost artwork of the human race. He finds strange goings-on at a resort enough to remind him of all the lines of the play, dealing with mob boss Don Learo and his daughter Cordelia, a strange professor named Jean Luc-Godard (sic), who repeatedly xeroxes his hand for no particular reason. He is followed by four humanoid goblins that keep tormenting Cordelia. There is also the gentleman whose […]
- [A rip in the fabric of Time, unnerving but fascinating](https://akirarabelais.com/2022/11/12/a-rip-in-the-fabric-of-time/): It appeared as the third and last clock stopped its ticking. Steel saw it first, then Rob. Sapphire was also aware of its presence. It was a moving, flickering shape that appeared high up, near the apex of the end wall. It seemed, as first, to be a part of the wall texture itself. As if the plaster of the wall was shifting. Then it appeared to take on a series of quick, broken images. Robe felt that it looked like pieces of old and faded moving-film, except that these images were three-dimensional. Rob also thought that he heard, under the […]

By this stick intended to attach the rope to the bed, and as the thread hung down to the floor of the room below, there should pull the thread and the rope would fall down. Tried it, and congratulated the invention, as this was a necessary part of scheme, as otherwise the rope hanging down would have immediately discovered me. I pull the thread, […]

- [図書館](https://akirarabelais.com/2021/10/31/toshokan/): 第23章 那天夜里，我梦见了幽灵。 我不知道“幽灵”这一称呼是否正确，但至少那不是活着的实体，不是现实世界中的存在——这点一眼即可看出。 我被什么动静突然惊醒，看见那个少女的身影。尽管时值深夜，但房间里亮得出奇。是月光从窗口泻入。睡前本应拉合的窗帘此时豁然大开，月光中她呈现为轮廓清晰的剪影，镀了一层骨骸般荧白的光。 她大约和我同龄，十五或十六岁。肯定十六。十五与十六之间有明显差别。她身材小巧玲珑，姿态优雅，全然不给人以弱不禁风的印象。秀发笔直泻下，发长及肩，前发垂在额头。身上一条连衣裙，淡蓝色的，裙摆散开。裙子不长也不短，没穿袜子没穿鞋。袖口扣得整整齐齐。领口又圆又大，衬托出形状娇美的脖颈。 她在桌前支颐坐着，目视墙壁，正在沉思什么，但不像在思考复杂问题。相对说来，倒像沉浸在不很遥远的往事的温馨回忆中，嘴角时而漾出微乎其微的笑意。但由于月光阴影的关系，从我这边无法读取其微妙的表情。我佯装安睡，心里拿定主意：不管她做什么都不打扰。我屏住呼吸，不出动静。 我知道这少女是“幽灵”。首先她过于完美，美的不只是容貌本身，整个形体都比现实物完美得多，俨然从某人的梦境中直接走出的少女。那种纯粹的美唤起我心中类似悲哀的感情。那是十分自然的感情，同时又是不应发生在普通场所的感情。 我缩在被窝里大气不敢出，与此同时，她继续支颐凝坐，姿势几乎不变，只有下颚在手心里稍稍移一下位置，头的角度随之略略有所变化。房间里的动作仅此而已。窗外，紧挨窗旁有一株很大的山茱萸在月华中闪着恬静的光。风已止息，无任何声响传来耳畔，感觉上好像自己在不知不觉之间已经死去。我死了，同少女一起沉入深深的火山口湖底。 少女陡然停止支颐，双手置于膝头。又小又白的膝并拢在裙摆那里。她似乎蓦地想起什么，不再盯视墙壁，改变身体朝向，把视线对着我，手举在额头上触摸垂落的前发。那少女味儿十足的纤细的手指像要触发记忆似的留在额前不动。她在看我。我的心脏发出干涩的声响。但不可思议的是，我并没有被人注视的感觉。大概少女看的不是我，而是我后面的什么。 我们两人沉入的火山口湖底，一切阒无声息。火山的活动已是很早以前的故事了。孤独如柔软的泥堆积在那里。穿过水层的隐约光亮，犹如远古记忆的残片白荧荧地洒向四周。深深的水底觅不到生命的迹象。她究竟看了我——或我所在的位置——多长时间呢？我发觉时间的规律已然失去。在那里，时间会按照心的需要而延长或沉积。但不一会儿，少女毫无征兆地从椅子上欠身立起，蹑手蹑脚地朝门口走去。门没开。然而她无声无息地消失在了门外。

Have they traded the cave for some other place? Propagandizing about […]

The objects are inorganic and dateless: milky long-necked bottles and squat flasks, a biscuit tin, a fluted bowl, some long-beaked metal pitchers. They carry no marks, patterns or brand names. One thinks of them not as manufactured objects but as elements in a hesitantly ideal architectural scheme. Sometimes the slender bottle necks, leaning together, vaguely recall the towers of Bologna or San Gimignano.

Avevamo lungamente calpestata sul opulenti tappeti orientali la nostra atavica accidia, discutendo davanti ai confini estremi della logica ed annerendo molta carta di frenetiche scritture.

I loafe and invite my soul, I lean and loafe at my ease observing a spear of summer grass. My tongue, every atom of my blood, form’d from this soil, this air, Born here of parents born here from parents the same, and their parents the same, I, now thirty-seven years old in perfect health begin, Hoping to cease not till death. Creeds and schools in abeyance, Retiring back a while sufficed at what […]

- [I am gone for euer. Exit pursued by a Beare.](https://akirarabelais.com/1587/11/06/exit-pursued-by-a-beare/): “Shakespeare was the theatre’s greatest craftsman: he wasted no tortured ratiocination on his plays. Instead he filled them with the gaudy heroes that all of us see ourselves becoming on some bright morrow, and the lowly frauds and clowns we are today.” H. L. Mencken People are afraid to merge on the Queen’s Highway in London. This is the first thing I hear when I come back to the city. Juliet picks me up from the docks and mutters this under her breath as her carriage drives up the onramp. She says, “People are afraid to merge on highways in London.” […]

- [Satyricon, I need not go to the poets for evidence](https://akirarabelais.com/1123/12/15/satyricon/): Pars quarta Then we all three swore the most solemn oaths the horrid secret should die with us Operi modo oculos, et finge te non humana viscera, sed centies sestertium comesse. Accedit huc, quod aliqua inveniemus blandimenta, quibus saporem mutemus. Neque enim ulla caro per se placet, sed arte quadam corrumpitur, et stomacho conciliatur averso. At this crisis amazement and consternation quite broke our spirit, certain death seeming to stare us miserably in the face. “I beseech you, lady,” I cried, “if you have any sinister design, put us out of our misery at once; we have done nothing so heinous […]
- [Lao Tzu (老子) … beginning of the ten thousand things](https://akirarabelais.com/1123/03/20/the-lao-tzu/): The way can be spoken of is not the constant way. The name that is defined is not the constant name. The nameless characterizes the beginning of the ten thousand things; The named characterizes the mother of the ten thousand things. So the unwanting soul sees what’s hidden, and the ever-wanting soul sees only what it wants. Two things, one origin, but different in name, whose identity is mystery. Mystery of all mysteries! The door to the hidden. ◯ 1 道可道, 非常道. 名可名, 非常名. 無名天地之始; 有名萬物之母. 故常無欲, 以觀其妙; 常有欲, 以觀其徼. 此兩者, 同出而異名, 同謂之玄. 玄之又玄, 衆妙之門. ◯ 2 天下皆知美之為美, 斯惡已. 皆知善之為善, 斯不善已. […]

- [森林浴](https://akirarabelais.com/skogsbad/): Chapter 15 Oshima climbs into his Miata and flips on the headlights. As he steps on the gas, pebbles shoot up, scraping the bottom of the car. He backs up, then turns around to face the road. He raises his hand in farewell, and I do the same. The brake lights are swallowed up in darkness, the sound of the engine fading. Then it’s completely gone, and the silence of the forest takes over. I go back into the cabin and bolt the door shut from the inside. Like it was lying in wait for me, silence wraps itself around me […]

- [Music ( hljóðleikr )](https://akirarabelais.com/music/): Por qué los árboles esconden el esplendor de sus raíces? 図​書​館 那天夜里，我梦见了幽灵。 我不知道“幽灵”这一称呼是否正确，但至少那不是活着的实体，不是现实世界中的存在——这点一眼即可看出。 我被什么动静突然惊醒，看见那个少女的身影。尽管时值深夜，但房间里亮得出奇。是月光从窗口泻入。睡前本应拉合的窗帘此时豁然大开，月光中她呈现为轮廓清晰的剪影，镀了一层骨骸般荧白的光。 À la recherche du temps perdu But the notes themselves have vanished before these sensations have developed sufficiently to escape submersion under those which the following, or even simultaneous notes have already begun to awaken in us. And this indefinite perception would continue to smother in its molten liquidity the motifs which now and then emerge, barely discernible, to plunge again and disappear and drown; recognised only by the particular kind of pleasure which they instil, impossible to describe, to recollect, to name; ineffable;–if our memory, like […]
