Notebook

Sérgio Da Costa and Maya Kosa's Bird Island is showing September 24, 2020 - February 27, 2021 exclusively on MUBI in the series Undiscovered.

"WHAT FOR?" (1909)

As such a limpid day
came back in haste,
he declared with a calm tone,
slow, and truly resolute:
now, it has to change,
I will throw myself into the battle;
I want to help as many others have
to remove the evil of the world,
want to suffer and walk,
until the people are free.
Never want again, tired, to lie down;
something needs to
happen; there, a hesitation seized him,
a lethargy: come on, forget it

—Robert Walser
