"No doom is too
great for your sins:
Worse torments
await you below"
(Da Ponte: Don Juan)
"Falling in love is clearly a hypnotic moment, which takes place in the foreground of speech and in the background of knowledge. Like a classical tragedy where the rhetorical scenes, filled with pathos, are pushed to the foreground and, thus, rule out the proceedings. The events of love are so sceneless that they can only been written down or spoken about with great difficulty. Only repercussions exist and these are finite.
Therefore, when we put love on the stage, we can only speak of a "diary of reverberations" - the diary of our pain, our joy, our explanations, our arguments, our weaknesses. The story itself has come to an end, as the only thing that has happened is falling in love. The enchantment of which I was the object, of which I relive the consequences. My own, local legend, my own little preserved, sacred story which, disposing of action, I stage in a celebratory performance of myself."
