“Pottering is still just possible…” #beckett #readingirelandmonth26

For Reading Ireland Month, I discovered that I had a good number of options on the TBR, and if you take a look at the photo from my end of February post you'll see a lot of them were very chunky!

Cioran sobre Beckett.

Los espíritus secretos revelan siempre, a pesar de ellos mismos, el fondo de su naturaleza. La de Beckett está tan impregnada de poesía que resulta indistinta de ella.

La chute a chuchoté à mon oreille
Elle m'a dit :
Vas-y ! Casse-toi la gueule !
Mieux que ça
Recommence
Recommence encore
Applique-toi
Tu dois bien t'étaler sur le sol
Consciencieusement
Tu dois disparaitre des radars
Ceux des gens "bien"
Des gens "comme il faut"
Ceux qui ne chutent jamais
Qui triomphe toujours
Quel qu'en soit le prix
Surtout si celui-ci est dégueulasse
Ton humanité est à ce prix
Alors, chute
Chute encore
Chute mieux
Puis relève-toi
