Elegy
Rainer Maria Rilke, translated by Stephen Mitchell
(to Marina Tsvetayeva)
Oh the losses into the All, Marina, the stars that are falling!
We can’t make it larger, wherever we fling ourselves, to whatever
star we may go! In the Whole, all things are already numbered.
So when anyone falls, the perfect sum is not lessened.
Whoever lets go in his fall, dives into the source and is healed.
Is all of life, then, a game, a meaningless fluctuation
of sameness, nowhere a name, nowhere a lasting achievement?
Waves, Marina, we are ocean! Depths, Marina, we are sky.
Earth, Marina, we are earth, a thousand times springtime, like larks
that a song bursting out of their breast flings into invisible heights.
We begin it as joy, and already it wholly surpasses us;
suddenly the force of our heaviness bends the song down to lament.

when i did this one, i had just started working with animations. i just had an urge to try to use some really glorious anime scene and kinda went from there.
i had been on DESO for 1 month almost exactly, and i was still trying to be seen a little more - so i don't know why this was the image i decided to make lol. but i think it's a kinda cool image actually. the first thing is "it's DIMOAND TIME!!!" the misspelling was on purpose ofc, i think it looks funny. then "DE-SOOOO" which in my head sounds like it's being said by like a little pokemon creature. then i wanted something ~weird~ to be the ending, so i created this strange "DeSo-Man" face (he makes many appearances after this) to be revealed. the face is made from the DeSo logo creating some kind of weird helmet. and DeSo-Man always says "in retrospect, it was inevitable" - which is placeholder text i saw on diamondApp, and later also saw it seems to be Nader's commit message for the github repos. and it probably has been used in other ways, i don't know lol.
