“توقفت أسفل البوابة، عند الخط الوهمي الفاصل بين أرض المعسكر وما خارجه، أتأمل الأفق في قلق، ذلك العالم المجهول الذي ينتظرني هناك، ذلك العالم المجهول الذي كان الأشد ألفة لي في حين كان المعسكر هو المجهول الأشد ظلمة.. أصبح عالمًا معكوسًا، أصبح كل شيء الآن عكس ما كان، لقد ذهب ذلك الطفل بمشاعره وعالمه وأمنياته مع إحدى ليالي الصحراء التي شهد فيها نور القمر على دموعه وخوفه، وكأنه قد استجاب له وأخذه إليه.”

“It was certainly not a beautiful face, by any period’s standard or taste. But it was an unforgettable face, and a tragic face. Its sorrow welled out of it as purely, naturally and unstoppably as water out of a woodland spring. There was no artifice there, no hypocrisy, no hysteria, no mask; and above all, no sign of madness. The madness was in the empty sea, the empty horizon, the lack of reason for such sorrow; as if the spring was natural in itself, but unnatural in welling from a desert.”
