أفي هذه اللّيالي التي لا قرار لها تنامُ وتُقيمُ مَنفاك مليون طائرٍ ذهبيّ، أنتَ يا عنفوانَ المستقبل؟ - Arthur Rimbaud

Oh! science! It has reconsidered everything. For thebody and the soul − the viaticum − we now have medicineand philosophy, old wives’ remedies and rearranged popular songs. And the diversions of princes and games they forbade! Geography, cosmography, mechanics, chemistry . . . Science, the new nobility! Progress. The world marches on! Why would it cease to turn? It is the vision of numbers. We are moving towards Spirit. What I say is certain, oracular. I understand, but not knowing how to explain myself without using pagan words, I prefer to hold my tongue.

به همه جا برو به همه چیز پاسخ بده هیچ چیز نمی تواند جسد تو را دوباره بکشد!

Jadis, si je me souviens bien, ma vie était un festin où s'ouvraient tous les coeurs, où tous les vins coulaient.
