IN MOTION by Karin Boye, 1927 The sated day is never first. The best day is a day of thirst. Yes, there is goal and meaning in our path - but it's the way that is the labour's worth. The best goal is a night-long rest, fire lit, and bread broken in haste. In places where one sleeps but once, sleep is secure, dreams full of songs. Strike camp, strike camp! The new day shows its light. Our great adventure has no end in sight. www.karinboye.se/verk/dikter/dikter/i-rorelse.shtml Translated by David McDuff When a five-year-old enquires: "Why can't you be normal?" You know you're doing at least something right.   Tweet until the war is over

[…] '[W]hen my life was simpler and made sense I could tell the difference between the real world and the world I wrote about… Later, when my personal life became more complicated and full of unfortunate convolutions… I became educated to the fact that the greatest pain does not come zooming down from a distant planet, but up from the depths of the heart. Of course, both could happen; your wife and child could leave you, and you could be sitting alone in your [father's] empty house with nothing to live for, and in addition the Martians could bore through the roof and get you.'
