" "

I do not neglect myself, quite the contrary: this morning I took a bath and shaved. Only when I think back over those careful little actions, I cannot understand how I was able to make them, They are so vain. Habit, no doubt, made them for me. They aren’t dead, they keep on busying themselves, gently, insidiously weaving their webs, they wash me, dry me, dress me, like nurses. Did they also lead me to this hill? I can’t remember how I came anymore.

Yeryüzünde şu serüven duygusu kadar bağlı olduğum başka şey yok belki. Ama bu duygu istediği zaman geliyor, sonra hemen kaçıp gidiyor. Gittiği zaman nasıl bomboş kalıyorum. Yoksa hayatımı boşa harcadığımı anlatmak için mi bu kısa ve alaycı ziyaretleri yapıyor bana?
Ardımda, kentin içinde, geniş ve dümdüz yollarda, lambaların soğuk aydınlığında, yaman bir toplumsal olay can çekişiyordu, pazar gününün bitişiydi bu.
