“EMILY SPARKS
Dov'è il mio bambino, il mio bambino -
in quale remota parte del mondo?
il bambino che a scuola amavo più di tutti?-
Io, la maestra, la vecchia zitella, il vergine cuore,
che li sentivo tutti miei figli.
M'ingannai col mio bambino
a giudicarlo uno spirito ardente,
attivo, mai pago?
Oh bambino, bambino, per cui pregai e pregai
in tante ore di veglia la notte,
ricordi la lettera che ti scrissi
sulla bellezza dell'amore di Cristo?
E che tu che l'abbia ricevuta o no,
bambino mio, dovunque tu sia,
opera per la salvezza dell'anima tua,
che tutto il fango, tutta la feccia in te,
ceda finalmente al fuoco che è in te,
finché il fuoco sia solo luce!...
Solo luce!”

The anguish of seeing her suffer is over; the spectacle of the pains of death is gone by; the funeral day is past. We feel she is at peace. No need now to trouble for the hard frost and the keen wind. Emily does not feel them.”

The whole world was fucking bleeding.”

“Emin olabilirsiniz ki, kendinize tapmak gibi bir zorunluluğunuz yok. Yeri geldiğinde eleştirileri açık yüreklilikle kabul edebiliyorsanız, yeterince olgun ve gerçekçi bir kişiliğiniz var demektir.
Ama aşırı derecede kibirliyseniz, bunun nedeni benliğinizin farkında olup ona değer vermeniz değildir, aksine kendinizi herkesten aşağı görmenizdir. Böbürlenme, kendini beğenmişlik, egoist davranışlar, bunların hepsi kişiliğinden şüphe duymanın ve ruhsal boşluğun dışsal birer göstergesidir. Kibirli tavırlar çoğu zaman endişeyi gizlemenin en iyi yolu olmuştur.”

“Emissions of carbon dioxide are largely by-products of productivity-- of industry, governments, and individuals producing things that we want more of (including heating, cooling, food, transport, hospital care, and so much more)..When countries promise to reduce their emissions, they are effectively promising to make all these things a touch more expensive. That acts as a slight brake on the economy, leading to a small reduction in growth…
“This cost is the relevant social cost of climate policies-- the reduction in welfare that comes from each nation insisting on using energy that is slightly more costly and less reliable than fossil fuels.” -p. 112”
