A HOUSE FOR “SOMEONE LIKE YOU”

We are not cynics, we confess.

We are weak.

We are sentimental.

We have been and we are, in love.

Love.

Hope and despair.

Pleasure and pain.

What can compare with it…?

To like a song and to build for a song one must be mad.

Art is madness.

And music more than anything.

But life is worthless without this madness.

Without this beautiful revenge art is.

Yes, revenge.

Revenge on an unsatisfactory life.

Revenge on limits.

Revenge on suffering.

But art without suffering is almost impossible, at least from a “romantic” perspective.

But the “romantic” perspective is necessary.

We cannot be only “objective,” “functional,” “rational” and so on…

We are sensitive.

We are even sentimental, sometimes.

We are weak.

But from this weakness a song is born, a building is born.

Cry, dear architect, and build, build for a lost love!

Cry and plunge into the soothing revenge art is!

Cry and whisper: not everything is lost!

Time is still on our side, to forget and forgive!

Bleed, dear architect, bleed!

Life is beautiful!

Life is painful!

Life is love!

Love kills, often.

Love gives birth, often.

Love is.
