" "

I am NOT nothing! A vaporous phosphorescence on a damp meadow, a miserable worm that crawls and loves, that shouts and talks about wings for an hour or two until his mouth is blocked with earth. The dark powers give no other answer. But within me a deathless Cry, superior to me, continues to shout. For whether I want to or not, I am also, without doubt, a part of the visible and the invisible Universe. We are one.

Μαζεύω τα σύνεργά μου: Όραση, ακοή, γέψη, όσφρηση, αφή, μυαλό, βράδυασε πια, τελεύει το μεροκάματο, γυρίζω σαν τον τυφλοπόντικα σπίτι μου, στο χώμα. Όχι γιατί κουράστηκα να δουλεύω, δεν κουράστηκα, μα ο ήλιος βασίλεψε.

كان القوس مشدوداً جداً حتى أنني كنت أسمع تمزق الحبل الممدود بين صدغيَّ في داخلي، لقد وصل إلى حد الانقطاع.
صدغان يرنان، والأعصاب في رقبتي تخفق، أحسست بقواي تتسرب من دماغي وحقوي ورسغي - وتتلاشى. ورحت أفكر مع نفسي، اذن فهكذا هو الموت- هادىء وشفوق، شبيه بدخولك إلى حمام دافىء وقطع شرايينك.
