  2. A quotation from Proust

    In reality, every reader, as he reads, is actually the reader of himself. The writer’s work is only a kind of optical instrument he provides the reader so he can discern what he might never have seen in himself without this book. The reader’s recognition in himself of what the book says is the proof of the book’s truth.
     
    [En réalité, chaque lecteur est quand il lit le propre lecteur de soi-même. L'ouvrage de l'écrivain n'est qu'une espèce d’instrument optique qu'il offre au lecteur afin de lui permettre de discerner ce que sans ce livre il n’eût peut-être pas vu en soi-même. La reconnaissance en soi-même, par le lecteur, de ce que dit le livre, est la preuve de la vérité de celui-ci.]

    Marcel Proust (1871-1922) French author
    Le Temps Retrouvé [Time Regained], ch. 22 (1927) [tr. Moncrieff/Kilmartin]

  7. A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson

    To know what you like is the beginning of wisdom and of old age. Youth is wholly experimental. The essence and charm of that unquiet and delightful epoch is ignorance of self as well as ignorance of life. These two unknowns the young man brings together again and again, now in the airiest touch, now with a bitter hug; now with exquisite pleasure, now with cutting pain; but never with indifference, to which he is a total stranger, and never with that near kinsman of indifference, contentment.

    Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
    Essay (1888-09), “A Letter to a Young Gentleman who Proposes to Embrace the Career of Art,” Scribner’s Magazine, Vol. 4, No. 3

  11. CW: re: Poetry, exploring kink, lewd (2/2)

    #Poem from the post above continued...

    "I don't like rough sex," I said,
    forgetting how, from just the tap
    of an ex-boyfriend's finger
    on my shoulder,
    I tumbled to the bed,
    where he later lifted
    all 180 pounds of me
    above him
    and tossed me
    to the side
    as though I were
    ephemeral, like air.

    "Do I like rough sex?" I wonder,
    as you slowly cuff my wrists and ankles
    to the corners of your bed.
    Then you gently caress my arms, my shoulders,
    my back, my ass, my thighs,
    my skin prickling with pleasure
    in response to your skimming, soft
    fingertips, warm against the chilly spring air,
    until--the smack--
    your hand--firm and hard--
    between my stinging shoulder blades
    --sudden and painful--
    the air leaving my lungs--
    "Do you like this?" you ask.

    My breathing ragged, I pant,
    "Yes! Yes, sir."

    (2/2)
