when e.e. cummings said “i’ll live my life if it kills me”
when andrea gibson said “i suppose i love this life, in spite of my clenched fist.” & when ellen bass said “to love life, to love it even when you have no stomach for it”
when kafka said “all the love in the world is useless when there is total lack of understanding” and when richard siken said “if you love me, you don’t love me in a way I understand.”
When orwell said: “Perhaps one did not want to be loved so much as to be understood.”
i just really think that calypso was resting with percy’s head on her chest and thinking “it all ends. everything else in the universe tends towards destruction yet here i am with my immortal body cursed to love again and again to a point where im not even sure if its me anymore” but she was still so soft with him and in response percy was just as soft with her and loved to to a point where he seriously started considering staying on Ogyia like sure maybe it was the magic of island the magic of her curse but does that make it any less material? does it not exists even in that limited dimesion of love and life and magic? and what if? maybe if they both really did feel these things for each other and maybe in a different life they would have been together thus making Calypso his biggest and most resounding what if?
