Arnold Böcklin (1827–1901) painted a unicorn. "The Silence of the Forest" (1885), a young woman rides a cow-like creature with a horn on its forehead through a dark forest
By believing passionately in something that still does not exist, we create it. The nonexistent is whatever we have not sufficiently desired.

I’m tired, can’t think of anything and want only to lay my face in your lap, feel your hand on my head and remain like that through all eternity.
#FranzKafka Letters to Milena
You do not need to leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen. Do not even listen, simply wait, be quiet, still and solitary.

Ante una de las puertas de Djamaa el Djazaïr (la Gran Mezquita de #Argel2026, que es la más grande de África), me siento como Joseph K. ante las puertas de la Ley en EL PROCESO de #FranzKafka o como #AnthonyPerkins en la versión cinematográfica que hizo #OrsonWelles.

Pursued by noise.

Fought a bit with the noise, then lay on the sofa with positively tattered nerves, quiet after 10 o’clock, but can no longer work.

This photo captures a peaceful moment in Kampa Park, located on Kampa in the Vltava River in Prague, Czech Republic. It was a morning in December and the sun is casting long shadows. There is a sculpture in the middle of the image which depicts a girl holding grapes. Sun is shining on her and the grass around her. A wintery tree behind her and a woman walking her kid in a stroller. The Vltva River is seen and behind it the other side of the river with the old Prague buildings.
»Und die ist sehr schön. Sie ist blond, und jetzt nach ihrer Krankheit blaß. Sie hat die schönsten Augen, die ich je gesehen habe.«
»Ich bitte dich, wie sehn schöne Augen aus? Ist es der Blick? Ich habe Augen niemals schön gefunden«

the photo shows a train crossing a truss brudge over the Vltava River in Prague at dusk. the evening is coloured in a faint blue and purple after a bright pink red sunset. lights from the buildings at the riverbank are drawing white nad yellow lines vertically down the water underneath the bridge. a warm glow shines inside the train
Aber unser Volk ist nicht nur kindlich, es ist gewissermaßen auch vorzeitig alt, Kindheit und Alter machen sich bei uns anders als bei anderen. Wir haben keine Jugend, wir sind gleich Erwachsene, und Erwachsene sind wir dann zu lange, eine gewisse Müdigkeit […]
