"There's no love of life
without despair of life."
ALBERT CAMUS

THE STRANGER
yet another fading star
looking for endless light
in infinite darkness
-
It may happen
anyhow
anytime
anywhere.
-
Speechless
in face of the absurd
we cling to our past
-
since our future
has been running
out of time.
-
Forsaken sons
and daughters,
caught on castaway boats,
we have no claim to stay,
-
being nothing more
than lost strangers
on their way
through a godless
universe.

"I leave Sisiphus at the foot of the mountain!
One always finds one's burden again.
But Sisiphus teaches the higher fidelity
that negates the gods and raises rocks.
He too concludes that all is well.
This universe henceforth without a master
seems to him neither sterile nor futile.
Each atom of that stone,
each mineral flake of that night filled mountain
in itself forms a world.
The struggle itself towards the heights
is enough to fill a man's heart.
One must imagine Sisiphus happy."
Excerpt from The Myth of Sisiphus,
