" "الآن, إذ تصحو, تذكّر رقصة البجع الأخيرة. هل رقصت مع الملائكة الصغار وأنت تحلم؟ هل أضاءتك الفراشة عندما احترقت بضوء الوردة الأبدي؟ هل ظهرت لك العنقاء واضحة... وهل نادتك باسمك؟ هل رأيت الفجر يطلع من أصابع من تحب؟ وهل لمست الحلم باليد, أم تركت الحلم يحلم وحده, حين انتبهت إلى غيابك بغتةً؟ ما هكذا يُخلي المنام الحالمون, فإنهم يتوهجون, ويكملون حياتهم في الحلم... قل لي: كيف كنت تعيش حلمك في مكان ما أقل لك من تكون. والآن إذ تصحو تذكّر: هل أسأت إلى منامك؟ إن أسأت, إذا تذكّر رقصة البجع الأخيرة!

Life to the last drop
If someone said to me again: ‘Supposing you were to die tomorrow, what would you do?’ I wouldn’t need any time to reply. If I felt drowsy, I would sleep. If I was thirsty, I would drink. If I was writing, I might like what I was writing and ignore the question. If I was having lunch, I would add a little mustard and pepper to the slice of grilled meat. If I was shaving, I might cut my earlobe. If I was kissing my girlfriend, I would devour her lips as if they were figs. If I was reading, I would skip a few pages. If I was peeling an onion, I would shed a few tears. If I was walking, I would continue walking at a slower pace. If I existed, as I do now, then I wouldn’t think about not existing. If I didn’t exist, then the question wouldn’t bother me. If I was listening to Mozart, I would already be close to the realms of the angels. If I was asleep, I would carry on sleeping and dream blissfully of gardenias. If I was laughing, I would cut my laughter by half out of respect for the information. What else could I do, even if I was braver than an idiot and stronger than Hercules?
