Y que se hicieron para mí una alfombra de silencio solemne, una quietud compasiva. Hubiese querido llevar una letra escarlata que dijese al mundo que debía parar... porque a mí el mundo se me había parado.”

“Step, step, step, I fall and they lift me, slip-slop, slip-slop, through the watery mud. Each step is a heartbeat on my way to the grave, and the longest walk I will ever take. Plip, plip, I slip and they gather me. How strong are these savages, and how tight is their grip! Plip, plip, plip patters the rain, and I fall, and I call, and I stall for more time. But my time has run out.”
