― Leonard Cohen, quote from Beautiful Losers Far from flying with the angels, he traces with the fidelity of a seismograph needle the state of the solid bloody landscape.”
Something in him so loves the world that he gives himself to the laws of gravity and chance. His track is a drawing of the snow in a moment of its particular arrangement with wind and rock. It is a kind of balance that is his glory. I do not think that a saint dissolves the chaos even for himself, for there is something arrogant and warlike in the notion of a man setting the universe in order. A saint does not dissolve the chaos if he did the world would have changed long ago. Contact with this energy results in the exercise of a kind of balance in the chaos of existence.
I think it has something to do with the energy of love. It is impossible to say what that possibility is. Published by Emblem Editions.“What is a saint?
