He went upstairs and quietly dressed. Before he left the bedroom, he looked at Ellen, who had a frown on her sleeping face. “I do love you, you know,” he whispered, and he kissed her brow.

He had proved nothing, he had made no viable gesture of atonement, and he knew now that he probably never would. If he could have talked with Quint's ghost now he could only have said: "I'm sorry; there's nothing more I can do."

How then could he feel so good. What possible right did he have to be at peace with himself?

A volte mi sento come se fossi destinato a essere sempre dietro le quinte quando arriva una scena madre.

«Dev’essere triste tornare a casa e non trovarci mai nessuno», mi ripetevano in confidenza le coppie che conoscevo, come se la tristezza fosse un fatto di sottrazione numerica, un disagio che l’avere qualcuno per casa avrebbe potuto scongiurare. Ho provato per un po’ a smentire queste letture commiseranti, ma nessuno aveva davvero interesse a sentirsi dire che a me andava bene cosí. Sono troppo destabilizzanti gli appagamenti raggiunti fuori dalla norma, oltre i confini di quei patti taciti su cui si reggono molte relazioni che amiamo definire solide. Le varianti di struttura non sono gradite. Ogni volta che ho detto che ero felice così, ho sempre scortonegli occhi altrui il bisogno di non crederci. Al contrario, ogni volta che ho concesso la falsa conferma della mia incompiutezza li ho visti rassicurati di aver fatto bene a considerarsi per tutta la vita la metà di qualcun altro e tenere insieme sotto lo stesso tetto, dentro lo stesso letto, solitudini e patrimoni a qualunque costo. Per questo io non insistevo. Non ho mai provato il bisogno di prendere a calci le quinte dei teatri altrui quando non era necessario. Oltretutto è rischioso: nessuno può sapere quanto rumore fa una certezza che si rompe.

Before 1975, if you knew the name Howard Sackler it was because he was the author behind the 1969 Broadway play The Great White Hope, which won Sackler the Tony and New York Drama Critics Circle award as the year’s Best Play as well as the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. A friend of film producer David Brown, Sackler accepted the offer to do a re-write on Jaws author Peter Benchley’s script for the film version of his novel. Sackler’s main contribution to the story was the back story that the shark fisherman, Quint, derived his hatred for sharks from having survived the sinking of the U.S.S. Indianapolis in July of 1945 (in the film, Quint errantly states the date as “June the 29th, 1945”).

Come ho fatto a non accorgermene? ti domandi. So riconoscere il desiderio quando lo vedo… eppure stavolta te lo sei fatto scappare.

Lastly, he hit on the idea of transferring the observer's position into the centre of the world, and to examine the variations in angular velocity, regardless of distance, as seen from the sun. And lo! it worked.
The results were even more gratifying than he had expected. Saturn, for instance, when farthest away from the sun, in its aphelion, moves at the rate of 106 seconds arc per day; when closest to the sun, and its speed is at maximum, at 135 seconds arc per day. The ratio between the two extreme velocities is 106 to 135, which only differs by two seconds from 4:5. - the major third. With similar, very small deviations (which were all perfectly explained away at the end), the ratio of Jupiter's slowest to its fastest motion is a minor third, Mars' the quint, and so forth. So much for each planet considered by itself. But when he compared the extreme angular velocities of pairs of different planets, the results were even marvellous:
"At the first glance the Sun of Harmony broke in all its clarity through the clouds."
The extreme values yield in fact the intervals of the complete scale. But not enough: if we start with the outermost planet, Saturn, in the aphelion, the scale will be in the major key; if we start with Saturn in the perihelion, it will be in the minor key. Lastly, if several planets are simultaneously at the extreme points of their respective orbits, the result is a motet where Saturn and Jupiter represent the bass, Mars the tenor, Earth and Venus the contralto, Mercury the soprano. On some occasions all six can be heard together:

Puis un bruit sec a chassé la chose gisant en travers de moi, et celle-ci a atterri mollement au pied d’un paravent qui divisait mon appartement. Jan s’est éloigné du lit pour pousser du pied la masse presque humanoïde et a hoché la tête. J’ai eu une quinte de toux et j’ai recraché une substance peu ragoûtante.

Sono entrato nella vita sapendo che la legge è di uscirne. Come aveva detto Saint-Savin, si impersona la propria parte, chi più a lungo, chi più in fretta, e si esce di scena. Me ne sono visti molti passar davanti, altri mi vedranno passare, e daranno lo stesso spettacolo ai loro successori. D'altra parte, per quanto tempo non sono stato, e per quanto non sarò più! Occupo uno spazio ben piccolo nell'abisso degli anni. Questo piccolo intervallo non riesce a distinguermi dal niente in cui dovrò andare. Non sono venuto al mondo che per far numero. La mia parte è stata così piccola che, anche se fossi rimasto dietro alle quinte, tutti avrebbero detto lo stesso che la commedia era perfetta. E' come in una tempesta: gli uni annegano subito, altri si spezzano contro uno scoglio, altri rimangono su un legno abbandonato, ma non per molto anch'essi. La vita si spegne da sola, come una candela che ha consumato la sua materia. E ci si dovrebbe essere abituati, perché come una candela abbiamo cominciato a disperdere atomi sin dal primo momento che ci siamo accesi. Non è una gran sapienza sapere queste cose, d'accordo. Dovremmo saperle dal momento che siamo nati. Ma di solito riflettiamo sempre e soltanto sulla morte degli altri. EH sì, tutti abbiamo abbastanza forza per sopportare i mali altrui. Poi viene il momento che si pensa alla morte quando il male è nostro, e allora ci si accorge che né il sole né la morte si possono guardare fissi. A meno che non si abbiano avuti dei buoni maestri.

happened, well . . . we split up. Now he’s probably zombified or headed out west, along with everyone else in town. When everything first happened, I heard it was safer out west. But I haven’t heard anything about that since, like, day four, so who knows. But still, there’s the chance Quint is alive, somewhere, and this walkie could reach him. So I cannot quit! Seven finger burns later, I get the walkie working. I squeeze the button and it lets out a soft hiss that tells me it’s transmitting.

La foresta d'argento al di là delle prime quinte. I veli trasparenti. Se si vuole, l'opposto della stanza rossa. Nessuna camera è ancora stata predisposta per la scena. Capelli biondi fatti crescere per anni, al solo scopo di ammaliare. Donne d'oro, dalla pelle bianca sotto fari bianchi.
"Cielo, apri aria."
"Non è davvero interessante l'audio originale. È la ripetizione che dà voce al senso."
La notte le avrebbe baciate sulle sponde del mare di luna.
"La bellezza si fa da sé. Tutto il resto lo chiameremo critica."
E intanto giravano ancora i ventilatori. La ballerina non ballava, in attesa di un nuovo Io.
Le attrici ripetevano le stesse battute, coi capelli all'indietro. Se mancava loro il fiato, c'era comunque il vento.

My friends come closer, but I take a hesitant step back. “Guys, please,” I say, throwing up my hand, all dramatic. “I have changed . . . I . . . I am different now. I am no longer the Jack you know. I am . . . more.” I hoist the blade over my head. “I must go now,” I say. My face is sombre. “I must learn the limits of these powers. It is my quest – my quest alone. And where I go, you cannot follow.” June’s mouth hangs open. Quint is frozen. Dirk is quiet. I hang my head for a moment, and when I lift it up again –

J’ai vu une chienne qui hurlait de plaisir en entendant la tierce majeure tenue en double corde sur le violon, elle a fait des petits sur qui la tierce, ni la quinte, ni la sixte, ni l’octave, ni aucun accord consonant ou dissonant, n’ont jamais produit la moindre impression. Le public, de quelque manière qu’il soit composé, est toujours, à l’égard des grandes conceptions musicales, comme cette chienne et ses chiens. Il a certains nerfs qui vibrent à certaines résonances, mais cette organisation, tout incomplète qu’elle soit, étant inégalement répartie et modifiée à l’infini, il s’ensuit qu’il y a presque folie à compter sur tels moyens de l’art plutôt que sur tels autres, pour agir sur lui ; et que le compositeur n’a rien de mieux à faire que d’obéir aveuglément à son sentiment propre, en se résignant d’avance à toutes les chances du hasard.
