Ovid’s The Story of Orpheus and Eurydice (tr. Rolfe Humphries) / Spirited Away dir. Hayao Miyazaki / @mag200 / Jenny Diski, “Housewife” / Franz Wright, God's Silence / Adrianne Kalfopoulou, “Poem in Pieces, a Log” / Jon Ware, I am in Eskew / Kazimierz Wierzyński, “A Word of Orphists” (tr.

image ids under cut:

image 1: a quote from Ovid that reads: "And Orpheus received her, but one term was set: he must not, till he passed Avernus, turn back his gaze, or the gift would be in vain."

image 2: excerpt from the script of the film Spirited Away that reads: "Haku: But I can't go any farther. Just go back the way you came, you'll be fine. [highlighted] But you have to promise not to look back, not until you've passed through the tunnel."

image 3: a drawing, labeled in all-caps handwriting "a venn diagram of love vs. grief:". the drawing is a single circle.

image 4: an excerpt, highlighted and italicized, from Jenny Diski that reads: "People don't understand about repetition, do they? How it is at the heart (thump, thump, thump) of obsession; at the erotic centre (drip, drip, drip) of desire. You do, of course. Repetition is insatiability spelt sideways."

image 5: a quote from Franz Wright reading, "And let me ask you this: the dead, where aren't they?"

image 6: a quote from Adrianne Kalfopoulou in red text, reading, "Grief will keep you reaching back / for what is not there"

image 7: an excerpt from Jon Ware that reads, "Here's my question. If the ghost wants nothing more than to be witnessed, why would it appear behind you, not in front of you? The only answer I can think of is this: [underlined] it appears behind you because it already knows, to an absolute certainty, that you will have no choice but to look back."

image 8: a quote from Kazimierz Wierzyński that reads: "I understood the true fate of Orpheus, that [highlighted] love is a constant terror of loss."

image 9: a screenshot of a tumblr ask from an anonymous user who says, "What's the point?" user prisonhannibal responds, "of what? it's love though".

image 10: two lines from aeschylus reading, "Orestes: This was always going to happen. She's been dead since the beginning."

image 11: an excerpt from Ocean Vuong that reads, "Your absence has gone through me // Like thread through a needle. / Everything I do is stitched with its color."

Examples of Slavophobia in Chopin's history: (1) during his lifetime to discredit him, (2) after his death to praise him for distinguishing himself from uncontrolled Slavic musicians, and (3) during the early 20th century to deny his ethnicity altogether as part of Nazi dehumanization of Slavic people.

Quoted from Kazimierz Wierzyński's The Life and Death of Chopin (refers to Heinrich Friedrich Rellstab's 1830 review of Chopin's Opus 2):

The campaign opened with a review of the Variations (Opus 2), which bore the dedication to Tytus Woyciechowski. Rellstab did not shrink from writing : “Chopin is probably a Pole — at least we may assume this from the fact that his work is dedicated to a Pole — but the vandalism with which he treats a Mozart theme is enough to show that the work stems from the raw Slavic soil.”

2. From "Mr. J. S. Shedlock on Chopin's Mazurkas and Polonaises", The Musical Times and Singing Class Circular (1899):

At the conclusion of the discourse Mr. E. F. Jacques, who occupied the chair, made some suggestive remarks on the restraining influence which Chopin's residence in Paris exercised on his genius. This was pointed out as specially noticeable in Chopin's treatment of the barbaric element, which was always controlled, and accounted for the difference between Chopin's music and that of other Slavonic composers.

3. Musical theorist and white supremacist Heinrich Schenker from his 1935 Free Composition:

For the profundity with which Nature has endowed him, Chopin belongs more to Germany than to Poland. May German musicians at long last turn their attention to him and come to understand him.

(Quote taken from Bent, Ian. “Heinrich Schenker, Chopin and Domenico Scarlatti.” Music Analysis, 1986)
