“দূরের বাড়িঘরের জানলায় জানলায় জ্বলে উঠছে সার-সার টিপটিপে আলো। ওসব কাদের গল্পের আলো? কাদের জীবনের ফুলকি? কারা ভালোবাসায়-বেদনায় সাজিয়েছে এই সব আলোর সংসার? সমস্ত ভালোবাসা দিয়ে, বুকে করে, কারা ঝড়বাদলেও আগলে রাখছে এইসব আলোর ফোঁটা? এই সব বাড়িঘর - এসব কাদের বাসস্থান? কারা থাকে এখানে? কারা ক্রমাগত মরে গিয়েও বেঁচে ওঠে আবার! ভালোবাসে আবার! বিশ্বাস করে আবার! আবার ঝুলন সাজায়। এ কাদের ঝুলন-শহর? কাদের এই বাড়ী? এ কি সত্যিই জোনাকিদের বাড়ী?”

“The paintings here were mystifying. In the reds and greens of the canvases, maidens danced with animals, a goat or something carried a violin in its mouth, and a man and a woman embraced under a gigantic blazing bouquet. This swarm of unrelated images was like a glimpse into a dream. But not a good one. The joy I saw there was ferocious, and the sadness suffocatingly cold. Blues thrown onto the canvas warred with yellows approaching like tornadoes. People gathered round aghast to watch a circus spin to life.”

“But I wasn’t crying because I was sad. I guess I was crying because we had nowhere else to go, no choice but to go on living in this world. Crying because we had no other world to choose, and crying at everything before us, everything around us.”

“In the cold December air, all the leaves, thousands upon thousands of them, flashed against the sky, drenched in gold. Every leaf rang with its own light, and all the light poured into me without end.”
