"It was dawn, the most miserable of hours:"
yes... "...might help me bear the indignity of simply being alive?" a twist, dark and ironic coming from the gun dealer...!? #Satantangotogether
Irimias to Payer (gun dealer): "The situation is...I would be most grateful for certain...raw materials. The more kinds the better." Petrina mumbling as he tried to remember the words of a prayer he'd heard" p225 1/2 #Satantangotogether
Toth to Irimias: "Have you heard? Szabo is done for." p 222 foreshadowing, plot line... #Satantangotogether
The spirit of Esti shows herself: "...above the marshy lifeless ground...They hardly had time to take it in...startled to see the veil vanish...The "kid" stood there...then seeing that neither I nor P was capable of speech remarked "What's up? Never seen fog before? 1/2 p 213 #Satantangotogether
Payer closed his eyes. "Is this a purely hypothetical inquiry or are you ready to back it up with a certain figure that might help me bear the indignity of simply being alive?"
233
Survival & reinforcement by reading detective stories, not the Bible.

Day 37, Apr 6, Mon - p223 “The bald man leaned closer.” to END OF CH4 p227
#satantangotogether
exactly where my head is
#satantangotogether
Futaki: "What idiots we are...We should have listened to Irimiás. He told us to wait, and what did we do? We had to move right away! ...As if it made any difference...Irimiás might have got hold of a truck by then!...never mind... It's too late to be sorry." p 197 #Satantangotogether
Suddenly, notice, the doctor is missing. Mrs. Halics: "He's definitely one of Satan's..." Mrs. Schmidt: "That man is like a mole...worse...! At least a mole puts his head up now and then. But it's like the doctor wanted to be buried alive. It's weeks since I've seen him..." p193 #Satantangotogether
Futaki: "packed, he had left no sign that he had ever been part of this world...But however many.. months, perhaps years of hope lay before him-since he was quite sure his lot was finally cast for the better...,he found it ever harder to resist a suffocating sadness" p185💙 #Satantangotogether

"We think we’re breaking free but all we’re doing is readjusting the locks."
dragging suitcases in the mud...but where oh where are they going???
#satantangotogether
“It’s nothing but a network of dependency under enormous fluctuating pressures. It’s only our imaginations, not our senses, that continually confront us with failure and the false belief that we can raise ourselves by our own bootstraps from the miserable pulp of decay.” #Satantangotogether
Gyula is by Romanian border. #SatantangoTogether
Due to the wars (129+ yrs!), most of the native Hungarian population fled from Gyula & Békés County. Landowner J. Harruckern invited German, Hungarian & Romanian settlers, who re-established the town in early 18th c.

Day 36, Apr 5, Sun - p220 “But how can you say this now…” to p223 “What’s new, Tóth?” SHORT DAY
#satantangotogether
#satantangotogether. Irmias seems to have no plan and yet he gets everyone including Petrina to follow along. Jonathan Haight said we make up out minds emotionally then create a rationalization around that. These folks are lured emotionally by Irmias authoritative posturing.
Omg not again Arse F.C. living up to its Bum Nickname once more in this (thus far) frustrating season. Can the Gunners salvage anything in their two remaining competitions?
So it’s ‘Satantango’ to the rescue this weekend too. And we will finish, unlike…
#souars #facup #satantangotogether
'...The imagination never stops working but we're not one jot nearer the truth.' Petrina finally relaxed. He knew now that 'everything was all right' & also what he should say so his companion might be his old self again.

Just discovered this hashtag. Reminded me why I'm still on social media.

“We are taking up the demanding, indeed hopeless, cause of human dignity . . .” He raised his famous forefinger and warned Petrina, “Listen, jackass! This is our moment!”
if it's not going to end well, it's important they stay together

"The low hum continued, no nearer, no further away..." Futaki and now Sandor can hear it.
"...above the marshy lifeless ground, a white transparent veil was billowing in a particularly dignified fashion."
Heavenly Vision? Hallucination? IV (chapters descending)
#SatantangoTogether
"...the old tower...still had a certain grandeur about it as well as an air of timeless vigilance, vigilance having been part of its original purpose." I wonder about this vigilance... What is the context for all of this? #SatantangoTogether
"...the whole 'manor'...had a silent, desperate feel to it, because though the higher reaches of the building were still uncovered, it was clear that within a few years it would surrender to the ruthless advance of the vegetation." Like the spiders. #SatantangoTogether
