“A HOTEL ROOM IN PARIS #31
At the bottom of the lonely window,
The sky looks almost velvety lilac.
While at the top, the window frame
Seems to drown in front of an ocean of blue satin.
White window frames in uneven walls
Cast no shadow, so the light projects the soul of each traveller instead.
So I sit here in silence, filtering out the noise
That the boulevards inhabit and sing each day.
Only the music I keep in my room, the silent solitude each one carries;
Carries far and – may I hope – home soon.”

What makes his pessimism worthy of regard is the fact that it has its source in remarkably sagacity. His honest and steadfast refusal to be optimistic not only lends to his character a noble severity but also gives to his philosophy the serene charm of truth. He invariably seems to me to belong to an older and a wiser generation, which regards the behavior of all other living things as an exceedingly juvenile performance. A hound is the only dog that can make me self-conscious of my own ridiculousness. Fixed by his appraising eye, I shrink into my true stature.”

Fire burst from its open mouth, its eyes glowed with a smouldering glare, its muzzle and hackles and dewlap were outlined in flickering flame. Never in the delirious dream of a disordered brain could anything more savage, more appalling, more hellish be conceived than that dark form and savage face which broke upon us out of the wall of fog.”
