The whirlwind of whirlwind

life
blows us round and round- Le Tourbillon De La Vie, the

whirlwind of "Jules et Jim" left me on the corner of the cliff
when I woke up in a lonely bed.
Days are like birds, bathed in the morning light, tweeting
and washing my island without stopping.
I yelled loudly, and the fallen candle burned on the window Leno.
It was a dream in a dream—no one listened to me to explain.

Two black horses were saddled at the door of dawn and wagged their tails slightly. These are the
foals I have been feeding since I was a child. The
dew gleams on their warm hair.
And the army lined up, and
they didn't find you and me in the reeds just after they passed by .
This is a dream in a dream. Someone on the mountain sang a li song.

The whirlwind of life, the laurel-like beauty,
I once sang praises when I was young, and I was as proud as
Jeanne Moreau. Today I played
those cruel chords again and again , and it was as sweet as
Jeanne Moreau. This is a dream in a dream—
time allows us to be drunk in its rapids.

Jules and Jim quotes

  • Jules: The most important factor in any relationship is the woman's fidelity. The husband's is secondary. Who was it who wrote, "Woman is natural, therefore abominable?"

    Jim: Baudelaire, but he was describing a certain world.

    Jules: Not at all. He spoke of women in general. What he says about a young girl is magnificent: "Horror, monster, assassin of the arts, little fool, little slut. The greatest idiocy combined with the greatest depravity." Wait. I'm not finished. This is marvelous: "I'm always astonished they allow women inside churches. What could they possibly have to say to God?"

    Catherine: You're both fools.

  • Jim: I understand.

    Catherine: I don't want to be understood. It's almost dawn.
