Irimias: "with a grave face...'Look, I have no idea what exactly happened here...But I will overlook it this time... and with a careworn expression: "All right, let's get down to business!" It was as if they were now emerging from some evil spell. They were sober...but p 237 1/3 #SatantangoTogether

What made it possible for people like them — people who had finally managed to emerge from years of apparently terminal hopelessness to breathe the dizzying air of freedom — to rush around in senseless despair, like prisoners in a cage so that even their vision had clouded over?
it finally became clear everything 'a filthy lie'! Without hope but still stubbornly longing, she gazed at the rain...But however she tried to concentrate on the thirst for revenge rather than...agonizing sadness...it was the tender murmuring of Irimias she kept hearing" 2/2 p231 #SatantangoTogether
Mrs. Schmidt's internal monologue of desire, lust, moments "of extraordinary blissful satisfaction had to compensate for everything else; it was only the 'betrayed love'.. besmirching of her 'pure burning passion' that could never be forgiven!" 1/2 p 231 #SatantangoTogether
Irimiás returns, remarkably (with another dramatic entry). "Button your coats, on with your hoods and hats, hold on tight, and feel free to turn your back on the great hope of your future because if you don't you'll get the full force of this filthy rain in your faces..." Apt. #satantangotogether

"It was dawn, the most miserable of hours:"
yes... "...might help me bear the indignity of simply being alive?" a twist, dark and ironic coming from the gun dealer...!? #Satantangotogether
Irimias to Payer (gun dealer): "The situation is...I would be most grateful for certain...raw materials. The more kinds the better." Petrina mumbling as he tried to remember the words of a prayer he'd heard" p225 1/2 #Satantangotogether
Toth to Irimias: "Have you heard? Szabo is done for." p 222 foreshadowing, plot line... #Satantangotogether
The spirit of Esti shows herself: "...above the marshy lifeless ground...They hardly had time to take it in...startled to see the veil vanish...The "kid" stood there...then seeing that neither I nor P was capable of speech remarked "What's up? Never seen fog before? 1/2 p 213 #Satantangotogether
Payer closed his eyes. "Is this a purely hypothetical inquiry or are you ready to back it up with a certain figure that might help me bear the indignity of simply being alive?"

Survival & reinforcement by reading detective stories, not the Bible.

exactly where my head is

Futaki: "What idiots we are...We should have listened to Irimiás. He told us to wait, and what did we do? We had to move right away! ...As if it made any difference...Irimiás might have got hold of a truck by then!...never mind... It's too late to be sorry." p 197 #Satantangotogether
Suddenly, notice, the doctor is missing. Mrs. Halics: "He's definitely one of Satan's..." Mrs. Schmidt: "That man is like a mole...worse...! At least a mole puts his head up now and then. But it's like the doctor wanted to be buried alive. It's weeks since I've seen him..." p193 #Satantangotogether
Futaki: "packed, he had left no sign that he had ever been part of this world...But however many.. months, perhaps years of hope lay before him-since he was quite sure his lot was finally cast for the better...,he found it ever harder to resist a suffocating sadness" p185💙 #Satantangotogether

“It’s nothing but a network of dependency under enormous fluctuating pressures. It’s only our imaginations, not our senses, that continually confront us with failure and the false belief that we can raise ourselves by our own bootstraps from the miserable pulp of decay.” #Satantangotogether
Gyula is by Romanian border. #SatantangoTogether
Due to the wars (129+ yrs!), most of the native Hungarian population fled from Gyula & Békés County. Landowner J. Harruckern invited German, Hungarian & Romanian settlers, who re-established the town in early 18th c.

#satantangotogether. Irmias seems to have no plan and yet he gets everyone including Petrina to follow along. Jonathan Haight said we make up out minds emotionally then create a rationalization around that. These folks are lured emotionally by Irmias authoritative posturing.
Omg not again Arse F.C. living up to its Bum Nickname once more in this (thus far) frustrating season. Can the Gunners salvage anything in their two remaining competitions?
So it’s ‘Satantango’ to the rescue this weekend too. And we will finish, unlike…
#souars #facup #satantangotogether
'...The imagination never stops working but we're not one jot nearer the truth.' Petrina finally relaxed. He knew now that 'everything was all right' & also what he should say so his companion might be his old self again.
