a chair with a cold back...

hopeless pile of hopeless bones

everything great is built upon sorrow...

there is only one way this story can end

The eight legs of the devil are crawling up my spine

the first death

Throat of the gray watcher

spirits breathing,strange idols scream

"You're all just souvenirs after all..."

the light in the eyes of dead children.

blind eyes, staring through me, into me, all around me...

De contemplanda Morte; De Reverencie laboribus ac Adorationis

"The spirit can not die in anything but in Thee

Therefore I implore Thee in prayer

for everything must b

e destroyed so that You can live,

...so that I can live

Oh, God of the perfect black, how could I possibly describe in words, 

the awe and worship I feel for Thee?

The serpent of time withdrawn through Thee

the fountain of living water reversed

It becomes the mouth of spiritual Death

The last motion completes Itself, brought into being

when the breath of Chaos releases the central point

The spirit can not die in anything but Thee

Yea, above all thing Thou art!

And everything becomes Thee,

yes, everything dies in Thee!

For Thou art the channel of Thyself.

There lies the redemption of Death fulfilled

There is the salvation and final release

Amen."

"This life I know live is rather a lack of living : it is a continuous dying. if with you I do not make my living, listen, my God, to what I say : I do not want this life of mine for I die because I do not die."

                                                                                                     -San Juan De La Cruz

Silence sang the praise of death

"In the history of times there is but the truth of bones and dust..."

Six feet of earth makes all men equal...

"Death is the most terrible of all things, and to maintain its works requires the greatest of all strength..."

"I believe that confronting the human heart and the human mind, which are composed of imperishable longings, there is only the mirage of what they long for. I believe that around us there is only one word on all sides, one immense word which reveals our solitude and extinguishes our radiance : Nothing."

INTER SPEM ET METVM

Life is just like everything else...it ends

"No matter how your paradise is shaped, no matter what, there will always be a certain snake, A certain tree that none can resist. There will always be a certain Satan, a certain serpent to re-image your bliss..."

"A massgrave is still just a hole..."

"...the common error concerning miracles is to regard them as effects without causes, contradictions of nature, Sudden vagaries of the divine mind, not seeing that a single iniracle of this class would destroy the universal harmony and reduce the universe to chaos. There are miracles which are impossible even for God, namely, those that involve absurdity.  Could God be absurd for one instant, neither Himself nor the world would be in existence the moment following..."

"Joyce referred to God as a 'Hanging judge'..."

Le miroir de la mort

"...then I who am Solomon praised the Lord and ordered a further spirit to appear. So before me came a demon with the likeness of a man, but headless-'And I said to him, 'Who art thou?' He said, I am a demon, I asked him which, and he replied : 'I am envy, I eat heads, for I seek a head for myself, I have not consumed enough, and I desire a head like thine.' 'I, Solomon, then put the seal upon him, holding my hand to his breast.' Then the devil jumped and fell and moaned, and said, 'Alas, what is become of me? O oryias, treachery, I cannot see!' And I said : 'I am Solomon, tell me how thou canst see without a head?' He said : 'Through my feelings.' - I asked him how he could speak, he said- 'O Solomon, King, I am a voice myself, for I have obtained the voices of innumerable men. I broke the hearts of the so-called dumb, on the eighth day after their birth. I can do things at the crossroads, though I am dangerous. I can seize and cut off a man's head like a sword-slash, and I put it on myself. I also send disease to the feet and cause sores..."

"Shine through me Satan

Yes, live now through this tool of yours

Live through me, O seditious star,

and like a thousand suns shall I spread thy light"
