SWEET SWEET MELANCHOLIA

Monique — Thu, 09 Oct 2014 14:20:02 +0000

“For some nights I slept profoundly; but still every morning I felt the same lassitude, and a languor weighed upon me all day. I felt myself a changed girl. A strange melancholy was stealing over me, a melancholy that I would not have interrupted. Dim thoughts of death began to open, and an idea that I was slowly sinking took gentle, and, somehow, not unwelcome possession of me. If it was sad, the tone of mind which this induced was also sweet. Whatever it might be, my soul acquiesced in it.”

Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, Carmilla

HARUKI MURAKAMI ~ A FEELING OF PAIN

Monique — Fri, 01 Jun 2012 21:01:16 +0000

“I think you still love me, but we can’t escape the fact that I’m not enough for you. I knew this was going to happen. So I’m not blaming you for falling in love with another woman. I’m not angry, either. I should be, but I’m not. I just feel pain. A lot of pain. I thought I could imagine how much this would hurt, but I was wrong.”
― Haruki Murakami, South of the Border, West of the Sun

Painting by Constance Marie Charpentier

Melancholy, 1801
