"Life and love , must go on. Life and love must emphatically and resonantly go on: here that's what we're all about. Yet there is a patina of cruelty, intense cruelty, as if creation corrupts."
-The narrator is realizing that life is about to end. The ones you love and the life you may have experienced is disappearing from your very eyes. To the narrator, he sees the world getting corrupt and finds it unbearable. He even finds out that Odilo had loved ones, a wife named Herta and a daughter named Eva. This makes leaving much harder for both of them.

An image that would represent this would be a two people separated by a barrier, never to be with the other half. Odilo and the narrator would be separated in due time.

Haiku:
The pain I feel now
The same feeling tomorrow
Wake me when I'm born
