I am leaving this harbour, giving urban a farewell. Its habitants seem too keen on God I cannot stomach their rights and wrong. I have lost my origin, and I don’t want to find it again Rather sailing into nature’s laws and be held by ocean’s paws Wanderlust! relentlessly craving Wanderlust peel off the layers [...]

Give up learning and put an end to your troubles
Is there a difference between yes and no? Is there a difference between good and evil? Must I fear what others fear? What nonsense!

Soleil et Chair
Le Soleil, le foyer de tendresse et de vie, Verse l’amour brûlant à la terre ravie, Et, quand on est couché sur la vallée, on sent Que la terre est nubile et déborde de sang ; Que son immense sein, soulevé par une âme, Est d’amour comme Dieu, de chair comme la femme, Et qu’il [...]
