“Les ténèbres étaient vastes et coulantes. Elles ondulaient au bord de moi. Tout n’était qu’écho, pulsation, flottement, étirement, sommeil, éveil et faim. Dans mon cœur qui vibrait comme un colibri, quelque chose attendait : un potentiel. Une rage lointaine qui crépitait. Puis il y a eut un souffle, un déchirement en moi et les ténèbres de velours se fendirent. Froid, terreur et lumière blanche glaciale.”

“Bands of Apollonian lightness and Dionysian darkness fill my inscrutable chamber. Apollo represents harmony, progress, clarity, and logic, whereas Dionysus represents disorder, intoxication, emotion, and ecstasy. Manchurian opposites of good and evil tug at me. My lifelong state of confusion manufactured a gray fog that engulfs me. Multilayers of misgiving line my impenetrable soul. Secret tunnels, coagulation’s of light and dense waves of incomprehensible silence, wend through me. I am constantly surprised to see slivers of myself. At times, I am utterly devoid of ambition. At other times, radical surges of energy convulse within me. Guilt, pleasure, anger, joy, impulsivity, watchfulness, sensual longings, and exhibitionist tendencies tumble within.”
