is what is alive
Como si necesitara que siguieran vivos para seguir escribiendo. Necesidad de escribir sobre algo vivo, bajo el peligro de lo vivo, no en la tranquilidad que procura la muerte de la gente, devuelta a la inmaterialidad de los seres ficticios.
I wanted physical, tangible proof of their existence, as if to continue writing I needed them to be alive, as if I needed to be writing about what is alive, to be endangered in the way one is when writing about the living and not in the state of tranquility that prevails when people die and are consigned to the immateriality of fictional characters.
Por esas mismas fechas yo había visto una exposición de Van Gogh, cuadros suyos y de sus contemporáneos comentados con palabras de él, y me sorprendió una observación en una carta a su hermano: «Lo que está vivo en el arte, y eternamente vivo, es en primer lugar el pintor y, en segundo lugar, la pintura». Phelps habría estado de acuerdo.
I had, around this time, seen a van Gogh exhibition, paintings of his and his contemporaries discussed in his own words, and was struck by his saying, in a letter to his brother, What is alive in art, and eternally alive, is in the first place the painter and in the second place the picture. Phelps would agree.
