Madeleine L'Engle Quote
Neither sadist nor masochist, I stillMust turn to violence: break, be broken.False image of myself I beg you: kill.Help me destroy the one of you I’ve spokenWithin my wilful heart. It is no more youThan I am all that I would wish to be.I cannot really love you till I hewAll these projections of an unreal me,An imaged you, to shards. Then deathWill have a chance to free me for creation.God! All this dying has me out of breath.How do I understand reincarnation?But if I burst all bonds of self-protectionThen may I find us both in resurrection.
