INVISIBLE FORMS

I’m Li (Lixie for a few friends), an outsider and a loser, a wayfarer lost into the blizzard, but still up and walking, seeking the right path to the right place. My past is my compass; my dead ones, my guides; my waste love, my best hope.

No lights ahead except the ones that just faded out.

Descending to some concrete earthly facts, I am Catalan, living in Catalunya (in the portion colonized and ruled by Spain). I studied sciences (Geology and, later, Physics), but I’ve almost always made my living in the trade of fine arts and antiques, stamps, old books… I’m myself a stamp and book collector since I was a child.

About this blog of mine, I started it as a sort of continuation of my late sister’s– and, to a great extent, as homage to her and her particular interests: poetry, literary translations, philology and linguistics, fashion and girl’s clothes, erotic art, eroticism in general and also some of the relatively recent visual arts: comics, photography, cinema.

Like her, I’m publishing mainly in English, which is not one of my native languages; not even one among the first foreign languages I learnt; so I apologize for the mistakes made and all clumsiness shown in the writings.

You’re heartily welcome!

Benvinguts de tot cor!

Mishto avilan!

Herzlich Willkommen!

Siate i benvenuti!

Showing off a little or even being naughty from time to time –here and elsewhere– does not mean I am offering anything at all to anybody –besides friendliness and kindness–. I am fine, even when alone; just a bit of an exhibitionist.

But if you really want a key to turn the lock and come in, just look for it somewhere around here.

Paraphrasing Rilke about deep love: […] arrest my heart, and my brain will beat, and if you set my brain ablaze, then I will in my soul bear you.
