Women and men in the crowd meet and mingle,
Yet with itself every soul standeth single,

Fighting its terrible conflicts alone.”

guten morgen ernst junger
opus dei buenos días
good morning hiroshima
despabílate amor
que el horror amanece”
“Despacio, volví a mi barracón y allí encontré a un buen amigo esperándome:
"¿De verdad quieres irte con ellos?", me dijo con tristeza.
"Sí, voy a ir."

Otto, ¿dónde estás ahora? ¿Vives? ¿Qué ha sido de ti desde aquel momento en que estuvimos juntos por última vez? ¿Encontraste a tu mujer? ¿Recuerdas cómo te hice aprender de memoria mi última voluntad —palabra por palabra— a pesar de tus lágrimas de niño?”

“Despair could never touch a morning like this.
The air was cool, and smelled of sage. It had the clarity that comes to Southern California only after a Santa Ana wind has blown all haze and history out to sea — air like telescopic glass, so that the snowcapped San Gabriela seemed near enough to touch, though they were forty miles away. The flanks of the blue foothills revealed the etching of every ravine, and beneath the foothills, stretching to the sea, the broad coastal plain seemed nothing but treetops: groves of orange, avocado, lemon, olive; windbreaks of eucalyptus and palm; ornamentals of a thousand different varieties, both natural and genetically engineered. It was as if the whole plain were a garden run riot, with the dawn sun flushing the landscape every shade of green.”

It does not help them do the thing in question; it just makes them feel worse.”
