Spring
by Karl Ove Knausgård
‘You see, the beauty of this world means nothing if you stand alone in it.’
‘We come from far away, from terrifying beauty, for a newborn child who opens its eyes for the first time is like a star, is like the sun, but we live our lives amid pettiness and stupidity, in a world of burned hot dogs and wobbly camping tables. The great and terrifying beauty does not abandon us, it is there all the time, in everything that is always the same, in the sun and the stars, in the bonfire and the darkness, in the blue carpet of flowers beneath the tree. It is of no use to us, but we can look at it, and we can now before it.’
