More From Marguerite Duras

When i beheld you, suddenly - for perhaps a second - i had the strength to reject everything that wasn't you and to laugh at the illusion. but my shoulders are very frail. i was unable to bear the weight of the world's condemnation. and i began to hate you when everything about you would have kindled my love and when love would have made men's contempt unbearable, and their contempt would have made my love unbearable. the fact is, i hate you.
Hate Men Laughing
Love is real, real is love, love is feeling, feeling love, love is wanting to be loved. love is touch, touch is love, love is reaching, reaching love, love is asking to be loved. love is you, you and me, love is knowing, we can be. love is free, free is love, love is living, living love, love is needing to be loved.
Love Real Knowing
There may come a time when it will be possible for you to humiliate your worst enemy or even to defeat him, but in order to love the enemy you must not do it... the greek language has another word [for love]. it calls it agape. agape is more than romantic love. agape is more than friendship. agape is understanding, redemptive goodwill for all men. agape is an overflowing love, a spontaneous love, which seeks nothing in return. and theologians would say that it is the love of god operating in the human heart. when you rise to love on this level you love all men, not because you like them, not because their ways appeal to you, not because they are worthful to you, but you love all men because god loves them. and you rise to the noble heights of loving the person who does the evil deed while hating the deed that the person does. and i think this is what jesus means when he says, “love your enemies.”
