“Vazand palaturile daramate si cu buruieni crescute pe dansele, ofta si, cu lacrimi in ochi, cata sa-si aduca aminte cat erau odata de luminate aste palaturi si cum si-a petrecut copilaria in ele; ocoli de vreo doua-trei ori, cercetand fiecare camara, fiecare coltulet ce-i aducea aminte cele trecute; grajdul in care gasise calul; se pogori apoi in pivnita, intrarea careia se astupase de daramaturile cazute. Cautand intr-o parte si in alta, cu barba alba pana la genunchi, ridicandu-si pleoapele ochilor cu mainile si abia umbland, nu gasi decat un cufar hodorogit, il deschise, dara in el nimic nu gasi; ridica capacul chichitei, si un glas slabanogit ii zise: Bine ai venit, ca de mai intarziai, si eu ma prapadeam. O palma ii trase Moartea lui, care se uscase de se facuse carlig in chichita, si cazu mort si indata se si facu tarana.”
