"Le visage et le corps des philosophes abritent souvent un air étrange, surtout dans le regard, comme si quelqu'un d'autre voyait à travers leurs yeux.1 - Conceptual artists are mystics rather than rationalists. They leap to conclusions that logic cannot reach.Sol Lewitt
The day before I gave birth to an angel, the ivy was growing strong, healthy, vibrant. The next day, when my placentae collapsed without any reason, the ivy collapsed too. No, we didn’t bring a child into the world, we brought a child into heaven. Thank you, our little boy, you have opened our hearts to real love, you teach us about life, every day. I miss you so much



No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear. I am not afraid, but the sensation is like being afraid. The same fluttering in the stomach, the same restlessness, the yawning. I keep on swallowing.
At other times it feels like being mildly drunk, or concussed. There is a sort of invisible blanket between the world and me. I find it hard to take in what anyone says. Or perhaps, hard to want to take it in. It is so uninteresting. Yet I want the others to be about me. I dread the moments when the house is empty. If only they would talk to one another and not to me.
There are moments, most unexpectedly, when something inside me tries to assure me that I don't really mind so much, not so very much, after all. Love is not the whole of a man's life. I was happy before I ever met H. I've plenty of what are called 'resources.' People get over these things. Come, I shan't do so badly. One is ashamed to listen to this voice but it seems for a little to be making out a good case. Then comes a sudden jab of red-hot memory and all this 'commonsense' vanishes like an ant in the mouth of a furnace.
On the rebound one passes into tears and pathos. Maudlin tears. I almost prefer the moments of agony. These are at least clean and honest. But the bath of self-pity, the wallow, the loathsome sticky-sweet pleasure of indulging it—that disgusts me.
And no one ever told me about the laziness of grief. Except at my job—where the machine seems to run on much as usual—I loathe the slightest effort. Not only writing but even reading a letter is too much.
An odd by-product of my loss is that I'm aware of being an embarrassment to everyone I meet. At work, at the club, in the street, I see people, as they approach me, trying to make up their minds whether they'll 'say something about it' or not. I hate it if they do, and if they don't.
There is one place where her absence comes locally home to me, and it is a place I can't avoid. I mean my own body.
I can feel the slow, insidious beginning of a process that will make the H. I think of into a more and more imaginary woman. Founded on fact, no doubt. I shall put in nothing fictitious (or I hope I shan't). But won't the composition inevitably become more and more my own? The reality is no longer there to check me, to pull me up short, as the real H. so often did, so unexpectedly, by being so thoroughly herself and not me.
If a mother is mourning not for what she has lost but for what her dead child has lost, it is a comfort to believe that the child has not lost the end for which it was created. And it is a comfort to believe that she herself, in losing her chief or only natural happiness, has not lost a greater thing, that she may still hope to 'glorify God and enjoy Him forever.' A comfort to the God-aimed, eternal spirit within her. But not to her motherhood. The specifically maternal happiness must be written off. Never, in any place or time, will she have her son on her knees, or bath him, or tell him a story, or plan for his future, or see her grandchild.

"El sol no había nacido todavía. Hubiera sido imposible distinguir el mar del cielo, excepto por los mil pliegues ligeros de las ondas que le hacían semejarse a una tela arrugada. Poco a poco, a medida que una palidez se extendía por el cielo, una franja sombría separó al cielo del mar, y la inmensa tela gris se rayó con grandes líneas que se movían debajo de su superficie, siguiéndose una a otra, persiguiéndose en un ritmo sin fin."
"El era libre, pero infinitamente, hasta el punto de no sentir su peso sobre la tierrra. Y le fataba ese peso de las relaciones humanas que entorpece la marcha, las lágrimas, las despedidas, los reproches, las alegrías, todo lo que un hombre acaricia o rompe una vez que esboza un gesto, los millares de ataduras que lo ligan a los demás y le hacen sentir que pesa. Pero sobre Bark pesaban ya mil esperanzas."
