Just watched Requiem for a Dream yesterday…
Desperation.. one feeling that runs through the movie..weaved into it, by Clint Massell’s composition.. the strings pull at your heart.. searching for hope, for retribution..seeking, seeking…and in that search losing, losing oneself completely…
How terrible to wantonly subject oneself to delusion..
Here’s one poem I’ve always loved…especially those lines which have been colored below…
“How Do I Love Thee?” by Elizabeth Barrett Browning
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of every day’s
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love with a passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.
Just discovered a song that would go along with it today.. that would play in the backdrop of my mind when I read this .. “Intezaar Aitbaar Tumse Pyaar” from Khosla ka Ghosla. Sowmya Roah sings it with quiet dignity - so very like the tone of the poem!
