@serejandmyself Enjoyed, (upvoted) here is my favorite line-
We torture ourselves
into this sport,
like a Salmon that swims
up the river,
Of course like everyone searching for love the salmon swims until he dies.

Also, the image of "Lovers" by Magrite has always been a favorite of mine. It is said that the image is his recollection of his mother who drown and was dragged from the river wrapped in a sheet.
