Franz Kafka is Dead
He died in a tree from which he wouldn't come down. "Come down!" they cried to him. "Come down! Come down!" Silence filled the night, and the night filled the silence, while they waited for Kafka to speak. "I can't," he finally said, with a note of wistfulness. "Why?" they cried. Stars spilled across the black sky. "Because then you'll stop asking for me."
1. ‘Achilles Come Down’ by Gang of Youths
2. “All the bright places(2020)”, dir. Brett Haley, adaptation of the book by Jennifer Niven
3. Nicole Krauss, The History of Love
(—lovers and friends pulling each other off the ledges)

“There are two types of people in the world: those who prefer to be sad among others, and those who prefer to be sad alone.” ― Nicole Krauss, The History of Love

II
Finally will it not be enough, after much living, after much love, after much dying of those you have loved, to sit on the porch near sundown with your eyes simply open, watching the wind shape the clouds into the shapes of clouds?
Even then you will remember the history of love, shaped in the shapes of flesh, everchanging as the clouds that pass, the blessed yearning of body for body, unending light. You will remember, watching the clouds, the future of love.
—Wendell Berry A Timbered Choir

Don’t set sail! Tomorrow the wind will have dropped; And then you can go, And I won’t trouble about you.

“Ngày xửa ngày xưa có một chàng trai rất yêu một cô gái, và nụ cười của cô gái ấy là câu hỏi mà anh muốn dùng cả cuộc đời để tìm câu trả lời"
