“But the truth, he knows, is otherwise. His pleasure in living has been snuffed out. Like a leaf on a stream, like a puffball on a breeze, he has begun to float towards his end. He sees it quite clearly, and it fills him with (the word will not go away) despair. The blood of life is leaving his body and despair is taking its place, despair that is like a gas, odourless, tasteless, without nourishment. You breathe it in, your limbs relax, you cease to care, even at the moment when the steel touches your throat.”

“لحظاتی هست استخوانهای اشیا می پوسد
و فرسودگی از در و دیوار میبارد
لحظاتی هست نه آواز گنجشک فروردین
نه صدای صمیمی از آن طرف سیم
و نه نگاه مادر در قاب قانعت نمیکند
زندگی قانعت نمیکند
و تو به اندکی مرگ احتیاج داری”
