Anne Carson, Anthropology water, liquid Reflections on the nature of language
by Antonella Anedda, Elisa Biagini, Emmanuel Tandello Donzelli Editore, 2010
Water is not something you can hold. How men. I tried. Father, brother, lover, true friends, hungry ghosts and God, one by one, I have all slipped through our hands. Perhaps it is as it should be what anthropologists call the "medium risk" encounter with other cultures. It was an anthropologist to explain to me what was the risk. Stressed the importance of using, talking about these things, rather than meeting the deadline for example discovery. Think of the difference - he said - between believing what you believe and believe what can be tried. I thought. I will not believe anything I said. (But I lied). And I have nothing to prove. (I was lying still.) I like to just travel the world and stop me, watching what's under the sky. (This is true.)
