Oui, je sais qu'au lointain de cette nuit, la Terre
Jette d'un grande éclat l'insolite mystère
Sous les siècles hideux qui l'obscurcissent moins.
Yes, I know that far from this night, the Earth
Casts a brilliant mystery of unusual light
Beneath the hideous centuries that obscure it less
Mallarmé

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
