Being in such a way that our absence does not generate a feeling of absence,
Instantly disarming any attempt at attaching,
Is this sheer cruelty or a superior form of compassion ?
Sentimentality is often an exaltation of the smallest germ of emotional reaction.
Emotions from the Depths is always blanketed by modesty.
This reserve is the shape taken by respect whenever reality is touched.
The inner collapse of artificial emotions is over compensated in the spheres of appearances,
in the lost rhythms of mirrors,
by the anxiety felt from the dried-up streams in the bottom of ravines.
