‘For love is ever filled with fear’

Letter from Penelope to Odysseus,

Heroides, Ovid

‘Sea, oh sea, you’re the homeland of waves,

the waves are sea-children.

The sea is their mother

and their sister’s the notebook.

It’s been that way now for many a century.

And they lived very well.

And prayed often.

The sea to God

and the children to God.

And after, they resettled in the sky.

From where they sprayed rain,

and on that rainy spot a house grew.

The house lived well.

It taught the doors and windows to play

shore, immortality, dream and notebook.

Once upon a time.’

‘The Song of the Notebook’, Alexander Vvedensky

‘A hundred thousand welcomes! I could weep,

And I could laugh; I am light, and heavy. Welcome!’

The Tragedy of Coriolanus, William Shakespeare
