VICENTE ALEIXANDRE — Destruction or Love: A Selection from La Destrucción O El Amor of Vicente Aleixandre, transl. by Stephen Kessler, (1976)

The mystery of whose story it will be. Of who draws the curtain. Who is it that chooses oursteps in the dance? Who drives us mad? Lashes us with whips and crowns us with victory when we survive the impossible? Who is it, that does all of these things? Who honors those we love for the very life we live? Who sends monsters to kill us, and at the same time sings that we will never die? Who teaches us what is real and how to laugh at lies? Who decides why we live and what we will die to defend? Who chains us? And who holds the key that can set us free? It’s you. You have all the weapons you need. Now fight! SUCKER PUNCH (2011) dir, Zack Snyder
