Roland Barthes Quotes
As Narrative (Novel, Passion), Love Is A Story Which Is Accomplished, In The Sacred Sense Of The Word: It Is A Program Which Must Be Completed. For Me, On The Contrary, This Story Has Already Taken Place; For What Is Event Is Exclusively The Delight Of Which I Have Been The Object And Whose Aftereffects I Repeat (and Fail To Achieve). Enamoration Is A Drama, If We Restore To This Word The Archaic Meaning Nietzsche Gives It: "Ancient Drama Envisioned Great Declamatory Scenes, Which Excluded Action (action Took Place Before Or Behind The Stage)." Amorous Seduction (a Pure Hypnotic Moment) Takes Place Before Discourse And Behind The Proscenium Of Consciousness: The Amorous "event" Is Of A Hieratic Order: It Is My Own Local Legend, My Little Sacred History That I Declaim To Myself, And This Declamation Of A Fait Accompli (frozen, Embalmed, Removed From Any Praxis) Is The Lover's Discourse.
