Tracks -- Berlin Alexanderplatz

Berlin, Germany -- 10/1/11

[nedison]

Everyone's smoking, clouds of smoke from pipes and cigarettes and cigars fog the whole huge hall. When it gets too smoky for the smoke, it looks for a way out which, thanks to its lightness, it can, through chinks and holes and ventilator shafts, all of which are under instruction to see it out. Once outside, though, there's only black night and freezing cold. Then the smoke regrets its impulsiveness, and opposes its nature, but the ventilators turn only one way, and there's nothing to be done about it. Too late. It's subject to physical laws. The smoke's not sure what it thinks about that, it tries to touch its brow and there's nothing there, it wants to think and it can't. The wind, the cold, the night, have it in their grip, and it is never seen again.

- Alfred Döblin, Berlin Alexanderplatz (trans. Michael Hofmann)

—¿Dónde entonces? ¿Perdiste tu corazón en un deporte? ¿En la corriente turbulenta del movimiento juvenil? ¿En el tumulto de la política? —No lo perdí allí. —¿No lo has perdido en ninguna parte? ¿Eres de los que nunca pierden el corazón sino que se lo guardan para sí, lo conservan cuidadosamente y lo momifican?

Alfred Döblin, «Libro cuarto: Biberkopf narcotizado, Franz se esconde, Franz no quiere mirar» en Berlin Alexanderplatz. Traducción de Miguel Sáenz.

And anyone who still wants to ask if there’s such a thing as justice in the world, the bad news is: for the moment, no, at least not this week.

The world is iron, there's nothing you can do, it rolls up to you like a steamroller, there's nothing you can do, here it comes, there it goes, they're sitting on the inside, it's like a tank, a devil is driving it with horns and glowing eyes, they tear you limb from limb, they sit there with their chains and teeth and tear you into bits. And it runs on, and there's no getting out of the way of it. It quivers in the dark; when it gets light, then you'll be able to see the lie of the land, how it happened.

- Alfred Döblin, Berlin Alexanderplatz (trans. Michael Hofmann

‘Even though you’re suffering so much, and suffering so much by your thoughts, you still don’t want to lose them?’
