"I have not been any. One has died and another was killed. Just live it was necessary to kill""Varykino is it not a lost place the forest, where nothing ever happens? "
( Doctor Zhivago, Boris Pasternak ).
Suppose that in a fairly rigorous perception of love or friendship (let the difference between them for another day), it is the friend we refusing to pass the necessary words the bad shot or witness our presence and esteem. Say, therefore, that if called to the house of a friend found her dead fire and tells us not expecting us, friendship is by definition shattered and fragmented into a thousand crystals (not that reflect colors but the cutting). Friendship was a bad dream and our claim ridiculous. I do not think we are very strict if we require the concept of friendship that test: in the darkness to clear a space around the fire to homes and company for the night.
Well, this consideration of the friendship shown to us clearly insufficient if we consider that the denial of a friend does not have to destroy the friendship. A sacred history I refer: Peter denied Jesus three times and punched his face in shame just for desserts of the ultimate betrayal. And yet, no longer the chosen, the representative of God on earth or stone that stands the geology of the community.
Love and friendship does not fit in our attempts to understand, either in image or word. The reality is a vibration or oscillation feature that makes all conceptualization can be questioned ("not exactly true) or denied (" No is that it is not that "). Uncertainty art and writing ....
This allows us to conclude that:
- poetics of silence or blank canvas is lodged in the origin our attempts art itself: the words and images are overwhelmed by the vibration of things (our inability or lack of creative ability is certainly as bad excuse, such as denial of a friendship by a misunderstanding).
- the use of writing as a therapeutic element is doomed to failure because the word can not handle the complexity of emotions and turns all that on " clown expression. "Put another way: the writer should forget cure and focus on the search for an artistic device, a fiction in which show the primacy of form unsatisfied.
"... Art is always at the service of beauty and beauty is happiness to master the form. The way the budget is organic existence. All that is alive should be, to exist, shape, and so the art, even tragic art is the story of happiness, a happiness so tragic and tears filled my head was tired and Dorida " (Doctro Zhivago, B. Pasternak)
In the death of Yuri Andreyevich Zhivago returns to the stage - becoming silent engine of his funeral - the beloved (or friend in the fatality) Larisa Feodorovna, Yuri separate for more than a decade and lived somewhere across the world. Lara's appearance certainly providential meaning loaded ... Or this is a clumsy deus ex machina ? Where does the literary and poetic license to force providential coincidences and meetings? Someone really important in our life in this casually our funeral to arrange flowers and kiss the forehead rigid (slack the way) is incredible for a fairly healthy intellect.
only divine providence or poetic fiction can Show us this fact without provoking laughter. Or rather, that Providence is not poetic or cancel the laughter of these incidents. It happens that stop the teasing into a state of significance that builds a theological or aesthetic idea:
"By an aesthetic idea I mean that representation of the imagination that gives much thought, without, obstantem, you may be right ; any particular thought, that is, no concept "(I. Kant. Critique of Judgement)
As friendship denied that, however, remains strong beyond their definition, art (or religion, as we are with Zhivago) is always the edge of laughter in these impossibilities poetry taking place at the edge of our belief and the facts become significant . be significant: the sobering in ... nothing concrete. A step further by forcing the story would make all the engine is broken - because it violates the " primacy of form."
"Pasternak Bankruptcy with that as unlikely and providential fact, the presence of Lara at the funeral of Yuri? I think not. What unites Lara and Yuri Zhivago is the friendship that get caught in its definition and, tying them both to a strange fatality, ritual requires the presence Zhivago Lara's right when he dies. Ritualism save chance. It is true that to reach this providential coincidence Zhivago should die without heroism, on the street and surrounded by the absurdity of the modern world (a streetcar that had horns). The required to pay this tax century of humiliation. But Larisa has its place in the funeral of the man who is left to die not stop believing - when everything is wrong because - precisely because of the primacy of form and harmony in the world.
"Never in the moments of happiness freer and forgotten, had left the top and exciting: the satisfaction with the harmony of the world, the feeling of being in relationship with him, to participate in beauty the whole show, of the universe.causes we not laugh belief Zhivago and Lara, they have just fallen all the scum that left the armored train in history? Is not it ridiculous that the poet makes the woman appear at the end point? Is not it stupid that love and friendship are extended beyond their breaks, on the other side of the three denials of San Pedro, beyond all that writing may agree to refer to and mean? In the suspense of laughter ... our hope dwells poetically.
lived their participation. And so the domination of man over nature worship and idolatry of man never drew them. The principles of false worship transformed social policy, they seemed a very miserable thing and no one understood them "( Pasternak, Doctor Zhivago)
we would say - with Lara and Zhivago - winning the friendship and love History.
