Tales of Madness (2015)
“The Small Coin First of all, let me preface my story by stating that I am now sane. Oh, as far as that goes, poor too. And bald. But when I was still myself, I mean, when I was the respected and wealthy Mr. Fausto Bandini, and had a head full of magnificent hair, I was crazy, crazy beyond the shadow of a doubt. And of course, a little leaner. And yet I still have these same eyes that have remained since then, frightened eyes set in a face completely marked with lines which reflect the chronic f...eelings of compassion that afflicted me.
Once in a while, in moments of distraction, I have relapses. But they are only flashes that Marta, my sensible wife, quickly puts an end to, with certain terrible little words of hers.
The other night, for example.
Things of small consequence, mind you. What can ever happen to a sane poor man (or to a poor sane man) reduced to living in a more orderly fashion than does an ant?
The finer the cloth, the more delicate the embroidery, I once read, I don't know where.MoreLess
