Order Break Through Circles

More From Salvatore Quasimodo

Each of the parts of philosophy is a philosophical whole, a circle rounded and complete in itself. in each of these parts, however, the philosophical idea is found in a particular specificality or medium. the single circle, because it is a real totality, bursts through the limits imposed by its special medium, and gives rise to a wider circle. the whole of philosophy in this way resembles a circle of circles. the idea appears in each single circle, but, at the same time, the whole idea is constituted by the system of these peculiar phases, and each is a necessary member of the organisation.

Things break all the time. glass and dishes and fingernails. cars and contracts and potato chips. you can break a record, a horse, a dollar. you can break the ice. there are coffee breaks and lunch breaks and prison breaks. day breaks, waves break, voices break. chains can be broken. so can silence, and fever... promises break. hearts break.

The universe is circles within circles, and everything is one circle, and all the circles are connected to each other. each family is a circle, and those family circles connect together and make a community, and the community makes its circle where it lives on the earth. it (the community) cares for that part (of the earth) but cares for it as a circle - which is to say in a cooperative and egalitarian way, where everybody is cared for, and everybody is respected.

Strip back the beliefs pasted on by governesses, schools, and states, you find indelible truths at one's core. rome'll decline and fall again, cortés'll lay tenochtitlán to waste again, and later, ewing will sail again, adrian'll be blown to pieces again, you and i'll sleep under the corsican stars again, i'll come to bruges again, fall in and out of love with eva again, you'll read this letter again, the sun'll grow cold again. nietzsche's gramophone record. when it ends, the old one plays it again, for an eternity of eternities.

For the whole consequence of evolution from blind impulse through conscious will to self conscious knowledge, seems still somehow to correspond to a continued result of births, rebirths and new births, which reach from the birth of the child from the mother, beyond the birth of the individual from the mass, to the birth of the creative work from the individual and finally to the birth of knowledge from the work.
Mother Children Self
Woman must come of age by herself. this is the essence of 'coming of age'-to learn how to stand alone. she must learn not to depend on another, nor to feel she must prove her strength by competing with another. in the past, she has swung between these two opposite poles of dependence and competition, of victorianism and feminism. both extremes throw her off balance; neither is the center, the true center of being a whole woman. she must find her true center alone. she must become whole.

Our biggest goal is to continue to force ourselves to always start our creative work on a white page and not take advantage of past successes and challenging ourselves.
