Nije stvar samo u tome što taj momak u krvi ima sivog mora, pomislila je; ima ga sav jedan ledeni, bezličan ocean, i on mora pronaći način da ga iz sebe ispusti.

-Cijeli sam dan o tome razmišljala - rekla je. - I po glavi mi se neprestano vrti izraz slobodan pad, mislim da se gotovo radi o oksimoronu. Jedini slobodni pad koji sam ikad vidjela bio je pad umjetnika na trapezu kad se, nakon krajnje napetih i napornih majstorija na zanjihanoj prečki i hvatanja u posljednji trenutak pod svjetlima reflektora, može odjednom otpustiti i pasti opušten i slobodan u sigurnost pod njim razapete mreže, vraćajući se na zemlju. Ali većina padova nije slobodna. Čini mi se da uvijek postoji napetost između onoga otkud i kamo padaš.

Let it all go, one foot in the grave and one bag packed. We shall go to our end in the warm glow of the past, burning up the memories, all the clutter given back.

Still, wouldn't you, even if entirely secure in your own sense of direction, be at least curious where others were heading, even as you struck out on your own ?
