“We can postulate that there must be diseases founded on a conflict between ego and super-ego. Analysis gives us the right to infer that melancholia is the model of this group, and then we should put in a claim for the name of "narcissistic psychoneuroses" for these disorders.”

“A csoda
Kár volna magamat eladnom
Célért, eszméért, okért, hitért.
Hogy magyarázzam az eget másoknak.
Eladni magamat semmiért.
Te vén szilvafa, ugye, igazam van?
Te tudod, te százesztendőt éltél!…
S akkor sikított, elbőgte magát
A kert mellett egy vén acéltehén.
Nem is acél volt, hanem drágakő.
Pálmaág-farkkal. Ott kinyúlt szegény.
Tele gyerekekkel
Kőrhinta forgott búgva, vidáman,
Szarvai hegyén.
És sírt és sírt, csak sírt, míg meg nem halt,
Késnyelek hullottak pengétlenül
A szemeibül.
- Ó, mennyi dinamit lakik
Én élve síró szemeimben! -
A föld egyszerre elszaladt alólunk
És elszaladt alólunk minden;
Ég, csók, tűz, magam s a semmi.
A tehén lángszőre szintén elszaladt,
Aztán visszajött
S a homlokomon kezdett énekelni.
Fehér vízben hevertünk egymás mellett,
Szivemben ő s az ő szivében én.
Hátulról keresztülnéztem magamon
S úgy láttam, hogy bennem él tovább
A tehén.
S tele gyerekekkel
Kőrhinták forogtak vidáman
Szarvai hegyén.
Nem szúrt vele, csak fölemelte.
Arrabökött, amerre elszaladtunk
A föld, az ég, a tűz, a semmi s én
S én szégyenverten lopózkodtam arra,
Hogy embertszülő tüzet énekeljek
Örökké, újra
Jeges, havas
Ismeretlen hegyek tetején.”
