He tells her that the earth is flat —
He knows the facts, and that is that.
In altercations fierce and long
She tries her best to prove him wrong.
But he has learned to argue well.
He calls her arguments unsound
And often asks her not to yell.
She cannot win. He stands his ground.
The planet goes on being round.
Wendy Cope: He Tells Her
Es gibt so viele Fragen in dem Verhältnis zu geliebten Menschen, über die der Bau des gemeinsamen Lebens hinausgeführt werden muß, bevor sie zu Ende gedacht sind, und später läßt das Gewordene keine Kraft mehr frei, um es sich anders auch nur vorzustellen.
Robert Musil: Die Vollendung der Liebe
Ach, CCC.
Realize the pain we live in
Demonize the need we reel in
You know you can't deny it
The world's a little more fucked up everyday
