A stiff hand remains perfectly still so as not to hinder the derisory work of drip. In the cold room, among the sick, I perceive the sanctity of the human being, of the body that constitutes him. The body in agony that life deserts by small sneaky steps sets me up in a strange feeling of respect. »
