A Portrait Of Daniel

December 26, 2009



Mazzy Star – Fade Into You 
This song is from the album So Tonight That I Might See which was one of two albums Daniel left in the computer that he emptied in order to give it to his mother when he received a newer MacBook by Vasilis. Daniel recorded this album on tape for his sister some years ago. Mazzy Star was the favourite music of Daniel and his girlfriend Maria Patomella during their time together (1996 – 1999). When they parted Daniel gave Maria this record.

The photograph is taken in Stockholm by Vasilis the 8th of June 2009 at 1:48 pm. It shows Daniel (with his birthmark, naevus flammeus, on his cheek) driving one of his Audis at Stallgatan as they pass by one of the two bronze horses at Blasieholmstorg (the two horses are copies of two of the four Horses of Saint Mark).

The first make-believe identity taken by Daniel as a child was that of a horse. He called himself hästen (the horse).



 
The 23rd of August 2009 his sister Lo, unaware of Daniel's suicide the same day, bought this small plaque with a silver horse on it that can look sad or glad or mischievous depending on which angle you look at it.
The plaque now hangs above the entrance to Daniel's house at Stiernås outside Östersund.

Christmas with Daniel
A link to last year



Pancho made the film
Note that Daniel asks Hamnar det här på YouTube sen eller? (Will this be on YouTube later or? )
and Pancho answers Jajamän det är bara att räkna med (Yeah just count on that )

As a child Daniel loved the Christmas tree.
He never allowed his parents to discard it and for months the tree stood needle-less on the balcony.

Six years old Daniel spent a Christmas in the mountain cabin with his mother and his sister.
He refused to come with them to find a Christmas tree. They went alone and came back with a beautiful tree.
Daniel was extremely upset and sawed off the top.
He did not explain it himself but his sister now believes that the root of his distress was the fact that his family was not all gathered that Christmas.

The tree on the Land Rover is only the upper fourth of a huge fir tree that was taken down to open up the view from Sagatun, the home of Daniel's sister Lo and her husband Pancho.
When the tree fell to the ground the very top broke and has been tied back on with rope.

Daniel was given the alias Snöflingan (Snowflake) in Riksgränsen. He continued to on occasion be called and to call himself by that name.

DANIEL

 His name was chosen as a tribute to a line of his ancestors with that name and to the biblical Daniel.
The name Daniel means God is my judge.


Daniel's mother used to recite an old saying to him on his name day the eleventh of December:

Daniel profet inleder den tid då djur och människor bör leva i frid 



Title of Work: Silos Apocalypse. Author: Beatus of Liebana. Illustrator: Petrus. Production: Spain (Silos), 1109

Daniel was there



(He told me, his sister Lo, that he was not so impressed by DM this time. I don't know why.)



Daniel sent this photo of his collection of Depeche Mode records to Vasilis.

Hallå! Jag har byggt ett nytt köksbord. Coolt va? Recept: 1 st EUR-lastpall från tyska statsjärnvägen DB, dubbla 2x6" reglar som ben, lite vinklar o skruvar o förband för att sätta ihop det hela, mörk Timberexolja på alltihop. Notera för övrigt Tequila som står o dricker vatten på en av bilderna! Vi hörs, / Daniel

Hej! Tack för en väldigt fin men väldigt sorglig dag, den här dikten av Pär Lagerkvist läste jag när Daniel gått bort. Många av hans dikter stämmer in på Daniel. Ni får gärna lägga upp den på aportraitofdaniel-sidan





Ingen hand är så tom som min,
intet hjärta så öde.
Trädde någon i mina gårdar in,
han trodde sig stå bland de döde.

Ensam går jag på en förtorkad mark,
längtar bort från mitt hjärta.
Ingen storm blåser tung och stark,
liten och tom är min smärta.

Vissna örter stå vid min fot,
ljumma vindar mig följa.
Intet rusar mitt bröst emot
med hög och skälvande bölja.

Var afton jag lutar mitt huvud trött
mot trädens kraftlösa stammar.
Alla mina vägar har jag förnött,
deras stoft över örterna dammar.

En gång skall jag lämna den mark mig livet gav,
lämna de öde gårdar.
En längtan till dödens dånande hav
jag djupt i mitt hjärta vårdar.

Our beloved Daniel wished to die.
His traces are now so conspicuous.
He has our closest attention.
Daniel Come Here

Collecting all relevant information,
exploring the depths of every memory
to reach a satisfactory interpretation
that would hopefully gain his approval.
