to be left on earth when another is gone (a playlist) - the song of achilles

“And perhaps it is the greater grief, after all, to be left on earth when another is gone.”
About the Book: The Song of Achilles (Madeline Miller)
A tale of gods, kings, immortal fame, and the human heart, The Song of Achilles is a dazzling literary feat that brilliantly reimagines Homer’s enduring masterwork, The Iliad. Written by Madeline Miller, winner of the 2012 Orange Prize for Fiction.

The name of Patroclus was hardly spoken, and when it was Achilles’ name always followed. Patroclus was a light, but his brightness was always behind the shadow of the great warriror Achilles. He was the rain that tamed the fire if Achilles. “Best friends” Most say. “Cousins” Even some whisper. But when Patroclus died Achilles realized how much he needed him, how much he loved him. And with Patroclus gone, Achilles was a raging fire without his rain to calm him. He raged, killing Hector for his lovers revenge. Dragging his body around Troy, but still.. that was never enough to avenge his beautiful, bright, rain that tamed him with his sweet words, kindness, and his love. So although many simple reasons mutter that the story of Achilles and Patroclus was just of them being “best friends” Some tell a different tale, one about a gray warrior Achilles, missing his beautiful lover, Patroclus.

[@litium2896]

si no es ahora, será aquí en otro momento de nuestras vidas, en otro espacio-tiempo o en otro universo, pero ten por seguro que aún en mis sueños te busqué y en tierra te encontré, mi alma reconoce la tuya como un niño al anhelo y no te perderé en esta, mente a mente, te deseo eternidad y merecimiento, gratitud y pureza, te amo aunque no lo hayas escuchado salir de mi boca, y espero verte crecer y renacer como ambos sabemos que se puede.
