But the uns formulated wish is probably this: to find a way to die together, at the same time, one in his chair, the other on the couch. »

« The words shadows carried have long exerted on me a power of attraction comparable to that which I could feel with the words limbo and clearing. Words and what they mean. The limbo this place without precise contours, located between the darkness of Hell and the radiant light of Paradise; the clearing that opens, as unexpected as hoped, in the hollow of the forest so dense and dark that I fear to get lost in it before the clearing and its light would dispel the nascent anguish. »
