So, without knowing what's behind its doors and completely unintentionally, my friend gave me an advent calendar this year that is right up my street. #weirdadvent

Rereading Elias Canetti's essay on Kafka and Felice, and thinking about epistolary relationships and the alternation between distance and reapproach as premise of artistic productivity.

I heard a bird sing
In the dark of December.
A magical thing
And sweet to remember.

"We are nearer to Spring
Than we were in September,"
I heard a bird sing
In the dark of December.

A story Stoppard told several times, in several places:
"Years and years ago, there was a production of The Tempest, out of doors, at an Oxford college on a lawn, which was the stage, and the lawn went back towards the lake in the grounds of the college, and the play began in natural light. But as it developed, and as it became time for Ariel to say his farewell to the world of The Tempest, the evening had started to close in and there was some artificial lighting coming on. And as Ariel uttered his last speech, he turned and he ran across the grass, and he got to the edge of the lake and he just kept running across the top of the water — the producer having thoughtfully provided a kind of walkway an inch beneath the water. And you could see and you could hear the plish, plash as he ran away from you across the top of the lake, until the gloom enveloped him and he disappeared from your view. And as he did so, from the further shore, a firework rocket was ignited, and it went whoosh into the air, and high up there it burst into lots of sparks, and all the sparks went out, and he had gone. "When you look up the stage directions, it says, 'Exit Ariel.”

It’s now within
an hour of sundown of a late
November afternoon.

It was a beautiful day,
the cold burned
down any indignation.

It was a beautiful day, the cold burned down any indignation. What won’t degrade: the sick and distant, or near and black, bad-natured tides of want.

"You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented, but then you read. It was books that taught me that that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, or who had ever been alive."

Ich liebe jene ersten bangen Zärtlichkeiten,
Die halb noch Frage sind und halb schon Anvertraun,
Weil hinter ihnen schon die wilden Stunden schreiten,
Die sich wie Pfeiler wuchtend in das Leben baun.

Stefan Zweig is keeping me company at the desk this week.
This week's sheet from the Arche Literaturkalender, depicting a black and white photo of Stefan Zweig, a quote from his autobiographical "Die Welt von Gestern. Erinnerungen eines Europäers" (published posthumously in 1942), in which he remembers his visit to Paris in 1904 and the lightness of being he experienced, and a comment locating the quote and book in his biography.
