_________________________________
Making a self-description is a biased and pretentious attempt. Even more when the person is not a stony or reductible object conceived as an-only-moment conceptual image (H. Hesse). For this reason, I think other people could make this sketch better according to their conceptual frameworks and subjetive-emotional circumstances.
I prefer, then, to speak of my bent and attitudes rather than of permanent qualities.
I like walking ways, those of the world and the horizons of sense. I enjoy the silence and movement in suitable moments to let them flow.
What originates my abductions of plenitude? Breezes of flushed sunsets, Colombian coffee, guttural melodies accompanied by nihilistic Will, brandy glowing of nightlight, igneous perfumes, cold that melts bones, Hitlerian eloquences, pagan dance under the shadow of Maskenfreiheit, dilated pupils, deindividuation after the tearing of the veil of Maia.

SENSATION
Par les soirs bleus d’été j’irai dans les sentiers,
Picoté par les blés, fouler l’herbe menue:
Rêveur, j’en sentirai la fraicheur à mes pieds.
Je laisserai le vent baigner ma tête nue.
Je ne parlerai pas; je ne penserai rien.
Mais l’amour infini me montera dans l’âme;
Et j’irai loin, bien loin, comme un bohémien,
Par la Nature, heureux comme avec une femme.
A. Rimbaud
