Jeppesen: Monologue 4 I am quite aware that there are people of a very sturdy fibre who trace out plans, organize beforehand itineraries of existence and follow them; it is even to be understood, if I am not mistaken, that by force of will any end may be reached. I can quite believe it but for me, I confess, I have never been either tenacious of purpose as a man or worldly wise. My life has something of a passive receptivity about it. Some unknown element, some trace of direction from outside myself guides me, and is that which cannot be questioned. Truly it can be said that beauty lies only in mystery. The beauty is the mystery. Excerpt from Joris Karl Huysmans' Written 20 Years After the Novel |
