He would say, "how funny it will all seem, all you've gone through, when i'm not here anymore, when you no longer feel my arms around your shoulders, nor my heart beneath you, nor this mouth on your eyes, because i will have to go away some day, far away..." and in that instant i could feel myself with him gone, dizzy with fear, sinking down into the most horrible blackness: into death.

More From Arthur Rimbaud

What is an "instant" death anyway? how long is an instant? is it one second? ten? the pain of those seconds must have been awful as her heart burst and her lungs collapsed and there was no air and no blood to her brain and only raw panic. what the hell is instant? nothing is instant. instant rice takes five minutes, instant pudding an hour. i doubt that an instant of blinding pain feels particularly instantaneous.

Real danger is nothing more than just living. of course, living is merely the chaos of existence, but more than that it's a crazy mixed-up business of dismantling existence instant by instant to the point where the original chaos is restored, and taking strength from the uncertainty and the fear that chaos brings to re-create existence instant by instant. you won't find another job as dangerous as that. there isn't any fear in existence itself, or any uncertainty, but living creates it.

It is said that the fear of public speaking is a fear greater than death for most people. according to psychiatrists, the fear of public speaking is caused by the fear of ostracism, the fear of standing out, the fear of criticism, the fear of ridicule, the fear of being an outcast. the fear of being different prevents most people from seeking new ways to solve their problems.

A sermon is a form that yields a certain kind of meaning in the same way that, say, a sonnet is a form that deals with a certain kind of meaning that has to do with putting things in relation to each other, allowing for the fact of complexity reversal, such things. sermons are, at their best, excursions into difficulty that are addressed to people who come there in order to hear that.
