Espérance

Let it happen

"So circle and spiral correspond in my profession, and the progressus ad futurum connects with the regressus ad originem, and  I experience it all as tangent, and I, because I am erudite against my will and therefore luckless lucky (alternatively hapless happy - I cannot decide which is the better translation from of the German "glücklos glücklich"), I start believing that the progressus ad futurum and the regressus ad originem are one and the same." - Bohumil Hrabal, Too Loud a Solitude (my translation from the German translation ;)!)
