“He turned to take one last look at the Old People’s Home that – until a few moments ago – he had thought would be his last residence on Earth, and then he told himself that he could die some other time, in some other place. The hundred-year-old man set off in his pee-slippers (so called because men of an advanced age rarely pee further than their shoes), first through a park and then alongside an open field where a market was occasionally held in the otherwise quiet provincial town.”

“In fondo cos’è la morte? – le dissi piano all’orecchio – solo un passo avanti per raggiungere l’eternità!” “O per perderla…” continuò lei. Sorrisi, stringendola a me ancora più forte e affondando il capo nei suoi capelli. [...] La strinsi un’ultima volta a me, prima di allontanarmi definitivamente dal suo viso e sussurrare: “Se la morte è davvero un passo avanti per l’eternità, ti prego… Baciami all’infinito e io morirò per te ogni giorno.”

“For that is the meaning of a farewell in the full, important sense of the word: that the two people, because they part, come to an understanding of how they have seen and experienced each other. What succeeded between them and what failed. That takes fearlessness: you have to be able to endure the pain of dissonance. It is also about acknowledging what was impossible. Parting is also something you do with yourself: to stand by yourself under the look of the other. The cowardice of a farewell resides in the transfiguration: in the attempt to bathe what was in a golden light and deny the dark. What you forfeit in that is nothing less than the acknowledgement of your self in those features produced by darkness.”
