När allt rasar vänder jag mig till Barthes. För ibland kan jag bara förstå världen genom att någon annan visar vad som faktiskt är.

What does "thinking of you" mean? It means: forgetting "you" [...] and frequently waking out of that forgetfulness.

Why do I turn once again to writing?
Beloved, you must not ask such a question,
For the truth is, I have nothing to tell you,
All the same, your dear hands will hold this note.
