Birthmarks on newborn babies used to be called "longing-marks" and were believed to take on the shape of something desired by the mother. Pouring a drink and wishing I'd asked the mom who marked me with desire what on earth she'd been desiring.

Deleuze: For Proust, to write is to “read the inner book of these unknown signs… There is no logos, there are only hieroglyphs. To think is therefore to interpret, is therefore to translate.” — Ricardo Piglia, The Diaries of Emilio Renzi (tr. Robert Croll)
