I guess this is one of those nights when the mind goes philandering, digging up dirt from the deepest corners of the head.
I suddenly think of one of my recent favourites, The Famished Road.
An excerpt:
"I was a spirit-child rebelling against the spirits, wanting to live the earth’s life and contradictions. Ade wanted to leave, to become a spirit again, free in the captivity of freedom. I wanted the liberty of limitations, to have to find or create new roads from this one which is so hungry, this road of our refusal to be."
Do you see
captivity in freedom
or
liberty in limitations
?
