To love is to struggle...


"To love is to struggle, beyond solitude, with everything in the world that can animate existence- this world where I see for myself the fount of happiness my being with someone else brings.  'I love you' becomes: in this world there is a fount you are for my life.  In the water from this fount, I see our bliss, yours first.  As in Mallarme's poem, I see:

                In the wave you become
               Your naked ecstasy."


Alain Badiou
