The fog was where I wanted to be. Halfway down the path you can’t see this house. You’d never know it was here. Or any of the other places down the avenue. I couldn’t see but a few feet ahead. I didn’t meet a soul. Everything looked and sounded unreal. Nothing was what it is. That’s what I wanted, to be alone with myself in another world where truth is untrue and life can hide from itself. Out beyond the harbor, where the road runs along the beach, I even lost the feeling of being on land. The fog and the sea seemed part of each other. It was like walking on the bottom of the sea. As if I had drowned long ago. As if I was the ghost belonging to the fog, and the fog was the ghost of the sea. It felt damned peaceful to be nothing more than a ghost within a ghost.
Fragment from one of my favorite books

ReplyDeleteThank you for the share Corina Marinescu. I love that excerpt from your favorite book. 😆
ReplyDeleteMe to Dan Wright :-) And for the combination with the text from "Long Day's Journey Into Night" :-)
ReplyDeleteThere's a similar feeling that comes to you walking alone on the silent streets of a big city around 3:30am. You can feel the city sleep; the energy and events of the previous day fading as the new day slowly awakens.
