“It is simply not possible for a female poet to claim, like Whitman, that she intends to ‘go by the bank of the wood and become undisguised and naked’ without immediately becoming vulnerable to the male gaze. It is, in fact, very difficult for female poets to speak of their embodied experience without being misread as positioning themselves as erotic objects.”

Gurlesque

Author:Lara Glenum

“...how mean and foolish are the living, with their never-ending terrors and curiosities, the puny effort of their lives, when faced with the quiet, kingly dead.”

“Narziss was dark and thin of face, and Goldmund open and radiant as a flower. Narziss was a thinker and anatomiser, Goldmund a dreamer and a child. Yet things common to both could bridge these differences. Both were knightly and delicate; both set apart by visible signs from their fellows, since both had received the particular admonishment of fate.”

“I understand you well. Now we have no need to dispute: you are awake, and so you have seen the difference between us, the difference between men akin to their father and those who take their destiny from a woman; the difference between spirit and intellect.”

“Een wonderlijke vriendschap was het, die tussen Narziss en Goldmund tot ontplooiing kwam; er waren maar weinig mensen, die er plezier in hadden, en af en toe had het er zelfs de schijn van, dat de twee er zelf geen plezier in hadden. Narziss, denker die hij was, kon er in het begin het minst gemakkelijk mee uit de voeten. Hij was een en al geest, ook in de liefde; het was hem niet vergund zich zonder verder na te denken aan iemands aantrekkingskracht gewonnen te geven. Hij had in deze vriendschapsverhouding geestelijk de leiding, en gedurende een aanzienlijke periode bleef hij eenzaam in een leven van genegenheid, en wist hij, dat hij zijn vriend pas werkelijk de zijne zou kunnen noemen op het moment, dat hij hem tot inzicht gebracht zou hebben. Goldmund gaf zich, van binnen uit, met warmte, speels en zonder zich rekenschap te geven, over aan het nieuwe leven; Narziss zag hun verheven noodslot in het volle bewustzijn van zijn verantwoordelijkheid onder ogen.”

“Reading books is like wearing winter clothes; it covers and warms up the body of your naked soul.”

“It's so easy for some people to get naked. They think they're so promiscuous and avant-garde and rebellious... but year-round their souls are covered in winter clothing! My soul is promiscuous, now how's that for being a rebel without a cause? They are amateurs.”
