I believe in tears.
They know the eye that wept them.
They know the pain of seeing.
***
I believe in lullabays:
They are the oldest song that exists,
And they will exist as long as nights exist.
***
I believe in myself.
I believe in the home that I am,
The roof over my silence.
***

I believe in the tear of a fish
That gives us the sea.
The ocean.
***
I believe in those who look at the sea
For so long
Until it becomes their eyes.
***
I believe in the beauty of the world:
In the moon hanging in the window.
In a leaf made of sun.

I'm imprisoned everywhere

You were talking recently about the meaning... of our... life... unselfishness of art... Let's take music... It's really least of all connected; to say the truth, if it is connected at all, then in an idealess way, mechanically, with an empty sound... Without... without associations... Nonetheless the music miraculously penetrates into the very soul! What is resonating in us in answer to the harmonized noise? And turns it for us into the source of great delight... And unites us, and shakes us? What is its purpose? And, above all, for whom? You will say: for nothing, and... and for nobody, just so. Unselfish. Though it's not so... perhaps... For everything, in the end, has its own meaning... Both the meaning and the cause...

Dreamt stars
Drank eyes
Dreamt dusk
Drank moons
Dreamt knives
Drank lambs
Dreamt owls
Drank cats
Dreamt foals
Drank dark
Dreamt rain
Drank storms
Dreamt lines
Drank signs
Dreamt gold
Drank birds
Dreamt clasps
Drank lead
Dreamt dawns
Drank dawns
And hear the rain fall

A Journey to Avebury is a short experimental Super 8 film made by Jarman in 1971, in a period when he was just beginning to transition to film as his preferred medium. It charts a walking journey he made through the Wiltshire landscape to the Neolithic stones at Avebury.

And the stars were shining, and the earth smelled sweet

When you chose me—
love chose—
I came out of the great anonymity
from everyone, from nothing.
Till then
I was never taller than
the sierras of the world.
I never sank deeper
than the maximum
depths marked out
on maritime charts.
And my gladness was
sad, as small watches are
without a wrist to fasten to,
without a winding crown, stopped.
But when you said: you,
to me, yes, to me singled out,
I was higher than stars,
deeper than coral.

I just sit. Or I walk and walk.
Or I stand somewhere looking at one spot.
And it seems to me as I stand here that I am totally disconnected from the rest of the world around me. Nothing, absolutely nothing connects me with it.
The world around me goes on being busy, conducts its wars, enslaves countries, kills people, tortures. The real world...
My life till now seems to have slipped through this real world without participating in it, without caring about it, without any connection to it. Even when I was in the very middle of it, I wasn't really there.
My only life connection is in these scribbles.
Here I stand, this moment, now, with my arms hanging down, the shoulders fallen, eyes on the floor, beginning my life from point zero.
I don't want to connect myself to this world.
I am searching for another world to which it would be worth connecting myself.

so many hearts run towards you
that you could be
and most generously
gild my misery with your sunshine
look - I pray to you again
for tenderness
mighty one
who else will so believe in you to whom will you be so necessary as to me
neediest one
stripped of splendor like a January tree
burning with shame
inside the chestnut body of a tree
hear me out
I beg for tenderness
deliver unto me salty drops of grace extravagant
arms lips' warmth
