Porque leer es vivir. Éste es un diario de realidades paralelas.

The world was a carousel, an amusement park full of spinning lights and loving noises.
"Or, as my eleven-year-old daughter recently said to me, remembering the early years of her childhood: I really miss those old days. They were hard, but they were beautiful."
"I sat before nearly two hundred guests in the garden. I scarcely could say what I talked about, but in the end I sang to them, as I had sung to the birds on my windowsill. It was a song that came to me while I lay in Diego's bed. It was about the butterflies that Noguchi had given to Frida. I saw tears streaming down the faces of the director and the women who had administered to me with such tender care. Faces I no longer remember.
Late that night there was a party in the park across from my hotel. My headache was completely gone. I packed, then looked out the window. The trees were strung with tiny Christmas lights though it was only the seventh of May. I went down to the bar and had a shot of a very young tequila. The bar was empty, as nearly everyone was in the park. I sat for a long time. The bartender refilled my glass. The tequila was light, like flower jouice. I closed my eyes and saw a green train with an M in a circle; a faded green like the back of a praying mantis."
Un chico dorado, un grasa católico de San Isidro, aguardaba, sentado en su tabla de surf (con la mente en blanco, llena de espuma)
Los amigos eran Suli y Néstor Kraken. Suli era homeópata y Néstor Kraken sociólogo. Los dos pertenecían a la categoría “interesante”. Eran cultos, eruditos. Por momentos incluso inteligentes. Tenían una hija llamada Rocío, de 12 años, con un defecto físico general, muy perturbador si uno está sobrio cuando la mira: es hermosa por partes y horrible en su conjunto. Se diría que da la impresión de haber sido barajada más que concebida. Observarla es meterse de lleno en un vértigo aritmético, de dolorosas combinaciones. Sus ojos, por ejemplo. Un millón de mujeres (y de hombres) querrían tener ojos como los ojos de Rocío, pero ninguno los aceptaría si la condición fuera que vinieran acompañados por la nariz, que a la vez es perfecta (sola). Y así en todas direcciones hasta el final.
Lo perturbador del aspecto de Rocío tenía sin embargo un atenuante, que era casi una bendición: no encajaba con su carácter. “Si fuese igual por adentro que por afuera sería esquizofrénica”, le comentó Muhabid a Érika durante el viaje en Ferry, en un momento en el que ambos creyeron que Álvaro dormía.
EL CALEIDOSCOPIO OBSERVADO. La pasión es geometría. Rombos, cilindros, ángulos latidores. La pasión es geometría que cae al abismo, observada desde el fondo del abismo.
THE KALEIDOSCOPE OBSERVED. Passion is geometry. Rhombuses, cylinders, pulsing angles. Passion is geometry plunging into the abyss, observed from the dephs of the abyss.
En la pantalla solo veo unos labios que deletrean su momento Atlántida.
On the screen I see only some lips spelling out their Atlantis moment
22. Soñé que encontraba a Gabriela Mistral en una aldea africana. Había adelgazado un poco y adquirido la costumbre de dormir sentada en el suelo con la cabeza sobre las rodillas.
Hasta los mosquitos parecían conocerla.
¿Un paisaje borrado? ¿Un rostro en primer plano? ¿Unos labios que articulan otra palabra?
"Si me tuviera que llevar algo sería la fachada de una casa desmoronada de un pueblito llamado Fontenay-Aux-Roses, cuya estación de ferrocarril está llena de rosas. Las ventanas de esa casa tienen los vidrios de color lila, pero de un lila tan mágico, tan como los sueños hermosos, que me pregunto si no terminaré penetrando en la casa. Tal vez si entro, me reciba una voz: "Hace tanto que te esperaba." Y yo ya no tendré que buscar más"
"Hago -se hacen- algunos poemas."
They needed a name for the club.
That evening Gretton picked up the big green book. And therein read:
"FORMULARY OF A NEW URBANISM
Sure, I am from the other country.
We are bored in the city, there is no longer any Temple of the Sun. Between the legs of the women walking by, the dadaists imagined a monkey wrench and the surrealists a crystal cup. That’s lost. We know how to read every promise in faces — the latest stage of morphology. The poetry of the billboards lasted twenty years. [...]
And you, forgotten, your memories ravaged by all the consternations of two hemispheres, stranded in the Red Cellars of Pali-Kao, without music and without geography, no longer setting out for the hacienda where the roots think of the child and where the wine is finished off with fables from an old almanac. That’s all over. You’ll never see the hacienda. It doesn’t exist.
The hacienda must be built."
"We'll call the club the Haçienda."
Ok
What a great fucking name.
"The little bossy boots that was Wilson fought like fuck for art, art that seemingly only he understood or valued."
This isn't about Factory, this isn't about Tony Wilson or Steven Morrissey; it's about Manchester, and Manchester only. [...] I think the young people of this area deserve to know themselves, to understand how important they are. I think City Fun's greatest hits and Shy Talk and Out There should be reprinted, and have Cummins pic of the Electric Circus hanging on the wall; I think the works of Garrett and Saville and Mulvey and Boone should be diaplayed and... Yakkety-yak, thud." Tony Wilson's letter to MorrisseyY entonces Kevin Cummins me escribió un mensaje
"Hand in glove is rebel rebel. All this Byrd stuff has been done and done"
So there we were, shaking the bell with one hand and having sex. Kept it from start to finish. Ding-a-ling! Ding-a-ling!
just about everything has been photographed, or so it seemsy de golpe tuve una necesidad de fotografiarlo todo, de llevar mi cámara conmigo y documentar todo a mi alrededor y retratar todo, lo bello y lo horrible, lo hermoso, lo doloroso, lo propio, lo ajeno, todo.
"Some things only become clear much later. [...] Begin at the beginning; at the mid-point begin again, and at the end return to the beginning. Never move far from the alpha of life. Replenish yourself in the aleph. Renew the core with the alf. In A we begin and to A we return. [...] He didn't know it at the time. But there, in the train station, of all places, he had experienced a bit of Eden. [...] Everything they saw was wrapped in the mystery of first encounters. [...] Something of our deeper selves lives in the magic of first encounters. We try later to recapture that first enchantment, but only rare experiences reawaken it.
-Maybe we'll awaken the magic of this walk in a future journey.
-I suppose that's what a classic is.
-what?
-A work that has the spring of eternal freshness within it. It manages to be new each time you encounter it.
-Yes - Mistletoe said - But some time needs to pass for the magic to be renewed. [...] So they strode into the depths of the pub like enchanters, altering reality by altering themselves. All at once they seemed like regulars who had been away for a long time. They went to the counter and ordered two pints of the local beer and looked around, as if they were curious about the new faces they saw leaning against the walls, standing in clusters, darkening the ceiling with smoke. [...]"
"So books should be lived to be read.
And life should be dreamt to be lived"
"The age of magic has begun. Unveil your eyes."
"Do you know what the luckiest thing is?"
"No"
"It is to be at home everywhere".
"Those who perish in the struggle to turn their dreams into reality are more admirable than those who live and die without giving a sign that they were ever alive. One of the greatest legacies we can leave future generations is the knowledge that we fought the beautiful fight."
"A film never gets made with mantras and meditation. Hard graft, the march of a thousand miles, and the willingness to sacrifice almost everything is what gets a film to the big screen."
*"He watched the twenty-two pieces of luggage being driven away. There are twenty-two letters in Jewish alphabet, twenty-two cards in the major arcana of Tarot, and twenty-two paths on the tree of life."
