“Sullivan, just pick it up.” He glanced at me, spearing a chunk of hot dog with his fork. “My way is more genteel.” I took another gigantic bite, and told him between chews, “Your way is more tight ass.” “Your respect for me, Sentinel, is astounding.” I grinned at him. “I’d respect you more if you took a bite of that dog.”

“Sullo schermo le diapositive continuano a scorrere: adesso sono più che altro foto di loro due sugli sci. Il nonno trasporta legname nel rifugio sopra la Draumadalur, nei Bláfjöll. Il rifugio si chiamava Himnaríki, che significa «paradiso». Quindi Himnaríki í Draumadalur sarebbe «un paradiso nella valle dei sogni». [...]
«Il nome Himnaríki creava qualche malinteso», dice la nonna sorridendo. «Una volta la nostra amica Magga era in autobus con il figlio, che le chiese: "Dov'è papà?" "È in paradiso con Árni", rispose lei. "E quando torna?" "Lunedì". Sull'autobus c'era un prete, che le toccò il braccio e le disse con profonda partecipazione, ma molto serio: "Deve dire la verità al bambino, cara signora!"»”

“Sully and I had successfully dismantled a girl, stripped her down to bits and pieces.”
Source: The Girls Are All So Nice Here
“Sully suffers from a stutter,
simple syllables will clutter,
stalling speeches up on beaches
like a sunken sailboat rudder.
Sully strains to say his phrases,
sickened by the sounds he raises,
strings of thoughts come out in knots,
he solves his sentences like mazes.
At night, he writes his thoughts instead
and sighs as they steadily rush from his head.”

“Suluk Suwung: Percakapan yang Tak Pernah Selesai Antara Suwung dan Amongraga
1.
AMONGRAGA:
Aku mendengarmu dari jauh—
gema yang berjalan tanpa tubuh,
seperti bayang yang lupa asalnya.
Apa yang kau cari di celah-celah
gelap ini?
SUWUNG:
Aku tidak mencari.
Aku hanya diam.
Diam yang terlalu lama,
hingga berubah menjadi bentuk
yang tak punya nama.
2.
AMONGRAGA:
Diam juga bagian dari suluk.
Ia jembatan menuju terang.
Mengapa kau menjadikannya liang?
SUWUNG:
Karena terangmu terlalu ribut.
Dan setiap mantra yang kau sebut
meninggalkan debu di nafas manusia.
3.
AMONGRAGA:
Aku berjalan dari kidung ke kidung,
dari tubuh ke tubuh,
hingga segala kenikmatan
mengungkit pintu-pintu wahyu.
SUWUNG:
Aku tahu.
Itulah jejak yang kau tinggalkan
di dada sejarah.
Tapi apa yang kau temukan?
Selain tubuh yang terus meminta
tanpa pernah selesai?
4.
AMONGRAGA:
Aku mencari puncak.
Puncak yang melampaui dunia.
Di sanalah aku menanggalkan daging
seperti menanggalkan bayang-bayangku.
SUWUNG:
Dan aku mencari dasar.
Dasar yang menelan dunia.
Dasar tempat segala suara berhenti
dan hanya retakan yang berbicara.
5.
AMONGRAGA:
Retakan juga bisa menjadi jendela.
Mengapa kau memilih menjadikannya rumah?
SUWUNG:
Karena rumah yang kau buat
ditopang oleh api.
Aku lelah menjadi tubuh
yang terus kau bakar
demi sebuah cahaya
yang tak pernah sampai.
6.
AMONGRAGA:
Lalu mengapa kau datang padaku?
Mengapa engkau memanggil namaku
dari jauh—
seperti anak yang kehilangan jalan pulang?
SUWUNG:
Aku ingin tahu
apakah seseorang sepertimu
pernah merasa kosong.
Atau kau memang menutupinya
dengan nyala yang memabukkan.
7.
AMONGRAGA:
Aku tak pernah kosong.
Aku penuh.
Penuh dengan bunyi,
dengan tubuh-tubuh,
dengan api yang naik turun
seperti nafas yang tak mau padam.
SUWUNG:
Maka di sanalah perbedaan kita.
Engkau penuh.
Dan aku kosong.
Tapi keduanya
sama-sama tak menjawab
apa-apa.
8.
AMONGRAGA:
Apa itu yang kau sebut suwung?
Hening yang menolak segala bentuk?
SUWUNG:
Suwung adalah tempat
di mana setiap jawaban
mati sebelum sempat disebutkan.
Sebuah ruang
yang tidak ingin menang.
Tidak ingin selamat.
Tidak ingin terlahir kembali.
9.
AMONGRAGA:
Jika begitu, apa yang kau inginkan dariku?
SUWUNG:
Aku ingin melihat
apa yang tetap berada pada dirimu
ketika seluruh kidungmu
aku bungkam.
Ketika seluruh tubuhmu
aku lepaskan.
Ketika seluruh cahaya
aku padamkan.
10.
AMONGRAGA:
Dan apa yang kau lihat?
SUWUNG:
Hanya satu hal:
bahwa bahkan engkau pun,
pada akhirnya,
adalah pintu yang tidak menuju
siapa-siapa.
11.
AMONGRAGA:
Jika aku pintu,
maka mengapa engkau tidak masuk?
SUWUNG:
Karena tidak ada apa pun di dalam.
Dan tidak ada apa pun di luar.
Yang ada hanyalah aku.
Dan bahkan aku
tidak sedang mencari diriku sendiri.
12.
AMONGRAGA:
Kalau begitu,
mengapa engkau tetap berdiri
di ambangku?
SUWUNG:
Karena di antara terangmu yang berisik
dan gelapku yang sunyi,
ambang adalah satu-satunya tempat
yang tidak memaksaku memilih.
13.
AMONGRAGA:
Engkau suluk yang patah.
Suluk yang menolak puncak.
SUWUNG:
Dan engkau
adalah doa yang terlalu keras
hingga lupa
bagaimana cara menjadi sunyi.

“Sumatra
Sad smo bezbrižni, laki i nežni.
Pomislimo: kako su tihi, snežni
vrhovi Urala.
Rastuži li nas kakav bledi lik,
što ga izgubismo jedno veče,
znamo da, negde, neki potok
mesto njega, rumeno teče!
Po jedna ljubav, jutro, u tuđini,
dušu nam uvija, sve tešnje,
beskrajnim mirom plavih mora,
iz kojih crvene zrna korala,
kao, iz zavičaja, trešnje.
Probudimo se noću i smešimo, drago,
na Mesec sa zapetim lukom.
I milujemo daleka brda
i ledene gore, blago, rukom.”

“SUMERGE TU ALMA
Esto es todo lo que necesitarás recordar.
Quédate allí –
Abraza
cada momento
como un beso del gran espíritu.
Esta vez
Tierno al corazón,
abrazado por el Alma
esto es todo lo que realmente necesitamos saber.
Ábrete
al abrazo de los amores
Sabe
con todo tu corazón
y toda tu Alma
Que tú eres amado
Abre tu corazón, y observa a la vida encenderse
Date un banquete de alegría
Enamórate
Libera todo al momento
y está en paz.”
“Sumerian myths and legends of the antediluvian world do much more than speak of the five cities. They also tell an extraordinary story of how their ancestors, who lived in the 'most ancient times', were visited by a brotherhood of semi-divine beings described as half men, half fish, who had been 'sent [by the gods] to teach the arts of civilization to mankind before the Flood' and who had themselves 'emerged from the sea'. The collective name by which these creatures were known was the 'Seven Sages' and the name of their leader was Oannes. Each of them was paired as a 'counsellor' to an antediluvian king and they were renowned for their wisdom in affairs of state and for their skills as architects, builders and engineers.”

“Summaries without background or study will lead to discussions without understanding.”
“Summarizing is when you take a story that is complicated and interesting, then stick it in a microwave until it shrivels up into a tiny piece of black crunchy tarlike stuff.

“Summary
There is a small group of cases, initially treated as rape where there is no evidence of an assault: primarily where a third party makes the report and the victim subsequently denies; or where the victim suspects being assaulted while asleep, unconscious or affected by alcohol/drugs but the medical/forensic examination suggests no sex has taken place. How the police should designate such cases is problematic.
- Eight per cent of reported cases in the sample were designated false by the police.
- A higher proportion of cases designated false involved 16- to 25-year-olds.
- A greater degree of acquaintance between victim and perpetrator decreased the likelihood of cases being designated false.
- Cases were most commonly designated false on the grounds of: the complainant
admitting it; retractions; evidential issues; and non co-operation by the complainant.
- In a number of cases the police also cited mental health problems, previous allegations, use of alcohol/drugs and lack of CCTV evidence.
- The pro formas and the interviews with police officers suggested inconsistencies in the complainant’s account could be interpreted as ‘lying’.
- The authors’ analysis suggests that the designation of false allegations in a number of cases was uncertain according to Home Office counting rules, and if these were excluded, would reduce the proportion of false complaints to three per cent of reported cases.
- This is considerably lower than the estimates of police officers interviewed."
A gap or a chasm?: attrition in reported rape cases.”

“Summer came. For the book thief, everything was going nicely. For me, the sky was the color of Jews. When their bodies had finished scouring for gaps in the door, their souls rose up. When their fingernails had scratched at the wood and in some cases were nailed into it by the sheer force of desperation, their spirits came toward me, into my arms, and we climbed out of those shower facilities, onto the roof and up, into eternity's certain breadth. They just kept feeding me. Minute after minute. Shower after shower.”

“Summer camp was a place where I felt like myself that wasn't like school. There were no grades, we got to try lots of new things, and I started to play guitar at camp. It was a place for acceptance and learning to be a part of a community, but also learning to be yourself. I want that for all kids, but some kids don't have the opportunity to go to camp. I want to help.”

“Summer days, and the flat water meadows and the blue hills in the distance, and the willows up the backwater and the pools underneath like a kind of deep green glass. Summer evenings, the fish breaking the water, the nightjars hawking round your head, the smell of nightstocks and latakia. Don’t mistake what I’m talking about. It’s not that I’m trying to put across any of that poetry of childhood stuff. I know that’s all baloney. Old Porteous (a friend of mine, a retired schoolmaster, I’ll tell you about him later) is great on the poetry of childhood. Sometimes he reads me stuff about it out of books. Wordsworth. Lucy Gray. There was a time when meadow, grove, and all that. Needless to say he’s got no kids of his own. The truth is that kids aren’t in any way poetic, they’re merely savage little animals, except that no animal is a quarter as selfish.
A boy isn’t interested in meadows, groves, and so forth. He never looks at a landscape, doesn’tgive a damn for flowers, and unless they affect him in some way, such as being good to eat, he doesn’t know one plant from another. Killing things - that’s about as near to poetry as a boy gets. And yet all the while there’s that peculiar intensity, the power of longing for things as you can’t long when you’re grown up, and the feeling that time stretches out and out in front of you and that whatever you’re doing you could go on for ever.”

“Summer days in the valley were the closest thing I had to religion. The shattered-glass water in the creek, the abundance of the mill, running like the wind was carrying me against an earth full of bones. It was awe and repentance, holy baptism washing the soles of my dirty feet. It was daydreaming that felt real for survival. It was all sacred ritual, inadvertent and weightless as grace.”

“SUMMER DEEP"
"Summer deep is in the hills again
His lady is a lioness
Winds of birds blow through the fields again
Invaders from the true worlds
A coat of grapes is on my back again
I ride upon my zebra
Pterodactyl beak hat on my brow
The truth is like a stranger
Be like you could
All my friends say.”
