“POZZO
I too would be happy to meet him. The more people I meet the happier I become. From the meanest creature one departs wiser, richer, more conscious of one's blessings.
Even you ... he looks at them ostentatiously in turn to make it clear they are both meant ..
.. even you, who knows, will have
added to my store.

ESTRAGON
Why doesn't he put down his bags?”

After dinner, Joyce and his protege, Samuel Beckett, “get pretty tight,” Norris says. On the way home, frustrated by the frequency of requests, Joyce and Beckett are making for pit stops, the carriage driver decides not to wait for Joyce’s drinking buddy to return from the pissoir, and leaves Beckett “ingloriously abandoned on the outskirts of Paris”.

According to David Norris, a Dublin senator and a leading Joyce scholar, the first official celebration of Bloomsday is held on its twenty-fifth anniversary on 16 June 1929. That night, Joyce is the guest of honour at a dinner party held at Les Vaux de Cernay, a village near Versailles. 1/2

🧵 #13avril Aujourd’hui, c’est l’anniversaire de #SamuelBeckett (1906-1989)

Comme tout le monde vous connaissez :

“Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.”

Oui, mais ça vient d’où ? Et il écrit quoi après, Beckett ? Ça vaut vraiment le detour, vous allez voir… /1

Samuel Beckett was born on 13th April 1906 in Foxrock, County Dublin. He was awarded the the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1969 "for his writing, which - in new forms for the novel and drama - in the destitution of modern man acquires its elevation."

Beluister “Allen die vallen” van Samuel Beckett.
Uitgezonden door de VPRO op vrijdag 19-06-1959.

Mevrouw Rooney, 70 jaar en last van overgewicht, is op weg naar het station om haar man te verrassen voor zijn verjaardag.

Drie mannen kruisen onderweg haar pad, een voerman, een fietser, een oude aanbidder in een auto, die haar naar het station brengt.

Op het station heerst verwarring omdat de trein te laat is.

« Quand il me disait de lui lécher le pénis je me jetais dessus. J’en tirais de la satisfaction. Nous devions avoir les mêmes satisfactions. Les mêmes besoins et les mêmes satisfactions. »

[“When he told me to lick his penis I hastened to do so. I drew satisfaction from it. We must have had the same satisfactions. The same needs and the same satisfactions.”] [5/5]

Samuel Beckett, « Assez » [“Enough”], 1966.

So often I think of this famous quote from #SamuelBeckett’s The Unnamed: “I can’t go on. I’ll go on”

Hey 🌸 to everyone going on today.

Enough. Sudden enough.
Sudden all far.
No move
and sudden
all far. All least.
Three pins. One pinhole.
In dimmost dim. Vasts apart.
At_bounds_of_boundless_void. Whence no farther. Best worse
no farther. Nohow less. No-
how worse. Nohow naught.
Nohow on.

Watched "Only Lovers Left Alive" and loved the picture wall. If you saw the film and wondered who the people were, here's all the pictures identified. I'd spotted #SamuelBeckett but missed #OscarWilde. I also missed #MaryWollstonecraft but she got a line in the script.
