MEZAR YAZISI

Öldüğümde benden arta kalanları ölmeyi bekleyen çocuklara ve yaşlılara verin.

Ve eğer ağlaman gerekiyorsa, Sokakta yanında yürüyen kardeşin için ağla. Ve bana ihtiyacın olduğunda, herkese kollarını dola ve bana vermen gerekeni onlara ver.

Sana kelimelerden veya seslerden daha iyi bir şey bırakmak istiyorum.

Beni tanıdığım, sevdiğim insanlarda ara, eğer beni ele veremiyorsan, en azından izin ver gözlerinde yaşayayım, aklında değil. Beni en çok Ellerin ellere dokunmasına izin vererek, Bedenlerin bedenlere dokunmasına izin vererek ve Özgür olması gereken çocukları bırakarak sevebilirsin.

Aşk ölmez, insanlar ölür.

O yüzden benden geriye kalan tek şey aşk olduğunda,ver beni.

~Merrit Malloy

Watching The Midnight Club and this poem hit so hard I had to find it for future reference. Epitaph by Merrit Malloy

When I die Give what's left of me away To children And old men that wait to die. And if you need to cry, Cry for your brother Walking the street beside you. And when you need me, Put your arms Around anyone And give them What you need to give to me. I want to leave you something, Something better Than words Or Sounds. Look for me In the people I've known Or loved, And if you cannot give me away, At least let me live on your eyes And not on your mind. You can love me most By letting hands touch hands, By letting Bodies touch bodies, And by letting go Of children That need to be free. Love doesn't die, People do. So, when all that's left of me Is love, Give me away. I'll see you at home In the earth.

Quando morirò dai via ciò che resta di me, ai bambini e agli anziani che aspettano di morire. E se vuoi piangere,  fallo per il fratello che ti cammina accanto per strada. E quando avrai bisogno di me, abbraccia qualcuno  e dai loro ciò che dovevi dare a me. Voglio lasciarti una cosa, qualora di meglio delle parole o dei suoni. Cercami nelle persone che ho conosciuto o amato. E se non riesci a lasciarmi andare, almeno fammi vivere nei tuoi occhi e non nella mente. Puoi amarmi di più lasciando che le mani tocchino mani, che i corpi tocchino i corpi, e lasciando andare i bambini che devono essere liberi.  L'amore non muore, le persone sì. Quindi, quando di me resterà solo amore... donami agli altri.

Epitaph by Merrit Malloy, ep. 1x10 the midnight club

Epitáfio

Quando eu morrer Dê o que restar de mim Para as crianças E aos idosos que esperam para morrer.

E se precisar chorar, Chore pelo seu irmão Que anda pelas ruas ao seu lado. E quando precisar de mim, Coloque seus braços Em volta de alguém E dê a ele o que você precisa me dar.

Eu quero te deixar algo, Algo melhor Do que palavras Ou sons.

Procure por mim Nas pessoas que conheci Ou amei, E se você não puder me deixar partir Ao menos deixe-me viver em seus olhos E não em sua mente.

Você pode me amar mais Deixando as mãos Tocarem as mãos, Deixando os corpos tocarem os corpos, E libertando as crianças Que precisam ser livres.

O amor não morre, Pessoas sim. Por isso, quando tudo que restar de mim For amor, Deixe-me partir.

— Merrit Malloy

Epitaph by Merrit Malloy

When I die

Give what’s left of me away

To children

And old men that wait to die.

And if you need to cry,

Cry for your brother

Walking the street beside you.

And when you need me,

Put your arms

Around anyone

And give them

What you need to give to me.

I want to leave you something,

Something better

Than words

Or sounds.

Look for me

In the people I’ve known

Or loved,

And if you cannot give me away,

At least let me live on in your eyes

And not on your mind.

You can love me most

By letting

Hands touch hands,

By letting

Bodies touch bodies,

And by letting go

Of children

That need to be free.

Love doesn’t die,

People do.

So, when all that’s left of me

Is love,

Give me away.

A year ago my yiayia passed, and when I mentioned it in a fuc A/N, someone commented and recommended this poem. (Sorry whoever you were, but i don't remember your name). I really liked it then, it was soothing, and as it's the anniversary of her death I had to pull this up again for a reread.

this is maybe a long story but bear with me

you appeared in a video of ladyknightthebrave's about bly manor. she also did a video oh hill house (i've watched both a lottt of times). this will be relevant in a minute.

when i watched the midnight club and ilonka read epitaph by merrit malloy, it was sooo familiar to me specifically in the context of your work and mostly hill house, but it wasn't part of the funeral scene(s) and i googled and googled and couldn't figure out why i knew this poem.

cut to me rewatching (for the umpteenth time) ladyknightthebrave's hill house video and she BRINGS UP THE POEM and i felt so unbelievably satisfied and gratified knowing why i associated that poem so strongly with hill house.

so my question is - is it a coincidence that that poem appeared in the midnight club years after her video came out? is she just really in tune with you as a filmmaker? had you seen her hill house video either before or after being interviewed for her bly manor video? i've always been curious.

I saw her Hill House video long before the interview and before the Midnight Club, and I was incredibly moved by her use of the poem. It stayed in my mind as we wrote Midnight Club, and I knew I wanted to use it there.

It really helped me when my mom passed away, I read it at her memorial. I'm thinking of getting the last line tattooed :)
