«There are people who seem to have made a pact
with the devil, people who, although everyone
knows full well they’ve entered their autumn years,
still move as if they were a blossom newly
unfurled. Perhaps this attitude is due to their having
gone beyond where one can go. Perhaps they’re like those
beings who, like Butes, faced with the sea, with the song
of the sirens, couldn’t hold back and have
dived headfirst into life, into the very depths of life
and have survived.»
