Nightspawn
“Perceive. One word, three syllables. The first is a wager. The second is a fish. The third is one third less than everything, and the whole is my theme. What is it?
Now I may proceed.2For all they tell one, there is really not very much variety in the world. Hills and dales, plains and seas, they are all much like one another; only in what is situated against their backdrops do they differ, and even that difference is not so great as one imagines. I do not speak of that abundance of squirmi...ng life which the maniacal scientist, with his pins and poisons, can detect upon two twin stalks of grass. No, I cannot believe in that unreasonable and grotesque underworld. I am talking of scenes and situations, meetings upon mountain paths, the child’s return, again and again, in five different continents, to the same scene of that crime by which he was conceived. On an afternoon full of soft sunlight and the cicada’s song, I climbed another hill toward another white wall, but this time, no music awaited me, none of love’s tuition.MoreLess
