The taste for solitude and contemplation was born in my heart together with the expansive feelings whose purpose it is to feed it. Turmoil and noise constrain and suffocate them, calm and peace revive and intensify them. I need to retire within myself in order to love. ... I had longed for the countryside, and I had obtained it; I could not bear subjugation, and I was perfectly free, indeed better than free ... [src]

I struggle to understand the words of wise men; revelation is a form of acquisition of knowledge undesirable for the progress of the human race, and yet to know and realize the full meaning of all the words of Rousseau - of Jesus Christ - of Saint-Simon - at times it seems as though it must be necessary. There are mysteries. I do not understand.

Even so, it seems to me Rousseau would have thought a city empty of its people to be a thoroughly unnatural thing.

	Isn't the real mystery what we're doing here, Enjolras? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	antinouswild 2013-06-11 06:03 pm UTC (link)
	That's a different sort of mystery, I think. I doubt if I can ponder out the answer. Hello. I've not seen you in quite some time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pontmercy 2013-06-11 06:05 pm UTC (link)
	But here we both seem to be. Hello, I just arrived, yourself? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	antinouswild 2013-06-11 06:18 pm UTC (link)
	The same. Strange, that we should come together. I'm uneasy; I don't know what to make of it. But then, to pretend that miracles are confined to one age can only be human folly. I hope you've been well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I've managed well enough, and you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Much the same as when you left, I thank you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Pray. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	For wisdom and for righteousness, as always. Or even just for insight - it seems I've been here before. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pontmercy 2013-06-11 08:12 pm UTC (link)
	Who told you that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	antinouswild 2013-06-11 08:17 pm UTC (link)
	A woman; she knew my name. She told me I'd died. Perhaps I have, although I can't remember it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pontmercy 2013-06-11 08:18 pm UTC (link)
	You trust what she's telling you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	antinouswild 2013-06-11 08:25 pm UTC (link)
	I haven't any choice, knowing nothing. But I see nothing to be gained by lying, either. If this is an afterlife, I don't know what to make of it. Thus, pray. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	..Marius? You, too? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Marius Pontmercy, yes? Or do you not remember me, either? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Is it you who spoke to Enjolras? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oui, I am. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And you told him that he died? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	onmyown 2013-06-11 11:27 pm UTC (link)
	I made a mistake. There was- it was Enjolras, but he was different. Not this man. He was here, yes, and he died. I understand now that he is not the same man. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	How could there be more than one? I don't understand. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

You were here once before, too. Or rather, a version of you. This place is complicated, and I still don't understand it myself. There was a Marius Pontmercy here who fell ill and died, along with Grantaire and Courfeyrac. Enjolras- the other one- and I were the only ones left. Grantaire reappeared, Enjolras was- he- he passed, Courfeyrac returned, and now it seems you two have arrived as well.

	That's very strange. How long have you been here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	onmyown 2013-06-11 11:43 pm UTC (link)
	Six months now, I suppose. Sometimes it seems like so much longer. (Reply to this) (Parent)
