“Sutton sensed resurrection and he fought against it, for death was so comfortable. Like a soft, warm bed. And resurrection was a strident, insistent, maddening alarm clock that thrilled across the predawn chill of a dreadful, frowzy room. Dreadful with its life and its bare reality and its sharp, sickening reminder that one must get up and walk into reality again. But this is not the first time. No, indeed, said Sutton.

“Darko Cvijetić: Schindlerov lift / Schindler elevator Croatian (Original) Daytonski mir tu noć potpisan. Mi nismo ništa znali. Nije nam javljeno. Ujutro oni izašli iz rovova, slave, dovikuju, pucaju u zrak. Mi se zgledamo isprepadani. Mirno i staloženo nanišanim. Skinem najveselijeg. E, taj. Svaku mi noć dođe preko plota u vrt. I pjeva li pjeva, Bože blagi, kao da sam ga promašio. English Translation The Dayton Peace was signed that night. We knew nothing. We weren't told. In the morning, they climbed out of the trenches, celebrating, shouting, firing into the air. We looked at each other, terrified. Calmly and steadily, I took aim. I took down the happiest one. That one. Every night he comes over the fence into my garden. And he sings and sings, dear God, as if I had missed him.”
