    vei crede ce dorești, dar acesta este adevărul meu. ți-l spun șoptit,la ureche,ca toate adevărurile mari, care nu-s altceva decât răsuflare caldă pe piele: vreau să-mi ascult sufletul și să tac, să mă ascund de zbuciumul uneltelor care neîncetatară și, lent, ca orice suflet obosit care-și cară în spate trupul, să mă tupilez pe sub…

  • Abschwörung

    Ich schwöre die Liebe ab. Das Einzige worin ich gut war. Das Einzige wozu ich vielleicht etwas taugte – ich schwöre es ab, dieses unendliche Grauen. Nie wieder werde ich in deinem Körper verweilen, noch du in meiner Erinnerung.

  • Saying Goodbye to a Tree

    I hugged the tree in my garden yesterday as it spread its arms out into that empty space that summer weaves out of vapor and linden fragrance. I hugged my tree yesterday held it tight bark against cheek and whispered my goodbyes. It felt rooted and rough I entered its shy shade like one enters a…

    O nouă provocare editorială!

    Dragi prieteni, pentru primăvara-vara 2025 v-am pregătit o frumoasă poveste despre #dragoste și #tabuuri, #familie și #resentiment, #religie și #cruzime, #tehnologie și trăirea nemijlocită. O #iubire pe cât de imposibilă, pe atât de indispensabilă, desfășurată pe fundalul fabulos al Munților #Carpați și pe cel (ficționalizat) al Timișoarei mele natale. Îi dăm drumul în lume începând…

  • On love (2)

    “It was as if they had leapt over the arduous calvary of conjugal life and gone straight to the heart of love. They were together in silence like an old married couple wary of life, beyond the pitfalls of passion, beyond the brutal mockery of hope and the phantoms of disillusion: beyond love. For they…

    On love

    “Florentino Ariza, for his part, suddenly asked himself what he would never have dared to ask himself before: what kind of secret life had she led outside of her marriage? Nothing would have surprised him, because he knew that women are just like men in their secret adventures: the same stratagems, the same sudden inspirations,…

  • Quote of the day

    “(…) it is never a question of where someone is in life, or which profession he is in, it is only a matter of how he occupies his circle in life and fills his place. Whether a life is fulfilled does not depend on how great one’s radius of action is, but rather only on…

  • In love

    with our bodies we prayed in their mutual giving, and our souls we laid bare in hope-laden heaving – our hearts, back then, a warm, welcome den, irresistible to each other, like water, like fodder, our chests throbbing magnets with manifold facets, now trifling clocks counting down the roadblocks to fame and to glory, our…

    “Men will always be what women choose to make them. If you wish then that they should be noble and virtuous, let women be taught what greatness of soul and virtue are. “ J.J. Rousseau – Discourse on the Arts and Sciences (1750)

    “What remained was the individual person, the human being – and nothing else. Everything had fallen away from him during those years: money, power, fame; nothing was certain for him anymore: not life, not health, not happiness; all had been called into question for him: vanity, ambition, relationships. Everything was reduced to bare existence. Burnt…

  • Women, mothers and really old ladies

    Now that March 8 is behind us (a day also known as Woman’s Day or Mother’s Day in Romania and, yes, flowers are expected!), it is time to introduce you to another Romanian tradition. This time, we’re talking about a really old one, dating all the way back to the Romans: the Days of the…
