Greetings from Imaginary Places

"[...] when we contemplate the whole globe as one great dewdrop, striped and dotted with continents and islands, flying through space with other stars all singing and shining together as one, the whole universe appears as an infinite storm of beauty."
— John Muir (1915)

Tässä olet yksin,
mutta älä kuvittele
etteivät olisi kulkeneet:
monet yöt valaistu monet seudut asutettu,
älä toista ikuista kronologiaa,
älä toista
tämä on se paikka
levitä ennen kädet vaikka ja pyöri
maa
ilmaan heitetty.

Mirkka Rekola (maa ilmaan heitetty, 1995)

"And the dry stone no sound of water. Only
There is shadow under this red rock,
(Come in under the shadow of this red rock),
And I will show you something different from either
Your shadow at morning striding behind you
Or your shadow at evening rising to meet you;
I will show you fear in a handful of dust. "
— T.S. Eliot (The Waste Land, 1922)
