Samuel Beckett

Artwork by Rosine Nusimovici, SAMUEL BECKETT, Portrait of the writer, Made of Silver print on period cartographic paper 


  bon bon il est un pays 

all right all right there's a land
where forgetting where forgetting weighs 
gently upon worlds unnamed
there the head we shush it the head is mute
and one knows no but one knows nothing
the song of dead mouths dies
on the shore it has made its voyage
there is nothing to mourn 

my loneliness I know it oh well I know it badly
I have the time is what I tell myself I have time
but what time famished bone the time of the dog
of a sky incessantly paling my grain of sky
of the climbing ray ocellate trembling
of microns of years of darkness 

you want me to go from A to B I cannot
I cannot come out I'm in a traceless land
yes yes it's a fine thing you've got there a mighty fine thing 
what is that ask me no more questions
 spiral dust of instants what is this the same
 the calm the love the hate the calm the calm
