“También quería rezar, dedicarme sólo a eso; rezar por todas las criaturas vivas; consideraba que ésa era la única actividad decente que quedaba en el mundo. Estar en alguna apartada orilla, o en el desierto, o en la montaña, o en una cabaña de México o de Adirondack, y descansar y estar tranquilo y no hacer nada más; practicar lo que los chinos llaman «hacer nada». De hecho, no quería tener nada que ver ni con las ideas de Japhy acerca de la sociedad (a mi juicio era mejor evitarla, rodearla), ni con ninguna de las ideas de Alvah sobre sacarle a la vida todo lo que se pueda porque su tristeza es muy dulce y uno morirá algún día.”

My spirit’s projected as my brain cells applaud.”
