NAME:
Read this excerpt from the novel close to wild heart, written by Clarice Lispector:
Ah, pity is what I feel then. Pity is my form of love. Of hate and communication. It's what holds me up against the world, just as one lives by desire, another by fear. Pity for things that happen without my knowledge. But I'm tired, despite my joy today, joy that doesn't know where it comes from, like that of the early summer morning. I am tired now acutely. Let's cry together, softly. For having suffered and continuing so sweetly. The tired pain in a simplified tear. But now it's a desire for poetry, I confess that, God. Let's sleep hand in hand. The world rolls on and somewhere there are things […] floating on the sea, that's sleep.
