I felt the first soft glow of intoxication that makes the blood warmer and spreads an illusion of adventure over uncertainty.

That is the remarkable thing about drinking: it brings people together so quickly, but between night and morning it sets an interval again of years.

Keep things at arm's length... If you let anything come too near you want to hold on to it. And there is nothing a man can hold on to.

Little by little things began to assume a new aspect. The sense of insecurity vanished, words came of themselves, I was no longer so painfully conscious of everything I said. I drank on and felt the great soft wave approach and embrace me; the dark hour began to fill with pictures and stealthily the noiseless procession of dreams appeared again superimposed on the dreary, grey landscape of existence.

A man cannot realize that above such shattered bodies there are still human faces in which life goes its daily round. And this is only one hospital, a single station; there are hundreds of thousands in Germany, hundreds of thousands in France, hundreds of thousands in Russia. How senseless is everything that can ever be written, done, or thought, when such things are possible. It must be all lies and of no account when the culture of a thousand years could not prevent this stream of blood being poured out, these torture chambers in their hundreds of thousands. A hospital alone shows what war is.

I had the feeling of slipping down a smooth bottomless pit. It had nothing to do with Breuer and the people. It had nothing to do with Pat even. It was the melancholy secret that reality can arouse desires but never satisfy them; that love begins with a human being but does not end in him; and that everything can be there: a human being, love, happiness, life — and that yet in some terrible way it is always too little, and grows ever less the more it seems.

I did not want to think so much about her. I wanted to take her as an unexpected, delightful gift, that had come and would go again — nothing more. I meant not to give room to the thought that it could ever be more. I knew too well that all love has the desire for eternity and that therein lies its eternal torment. Nothing lasts. Nothing.

Бети се замисли за миг. След това ми направи знак да се приближа. Аз пристъпих неохотно, защото от нея се носеше мирис на ментови таблетки и смърт.

Тя отпъди с усилие птиците.
- Къш, Патирк! Къш, Емили! Ето, вече ме изцапаха!
- Хубаво е когато можем да назовем причината за нещасието си по име, нали? -забелязах аз. - Тогава всичко е много по-просто.
Запътих се към своя форд, ала внезапно спрях. Какво казах? За секунда ми се стори, че някой ме прободе отзад. Извърнах се.
- Не е толкова страшно. - чух гласа на Кармен от градината. - Петното може да се изчисти.

- Смятате, че не си подхождаме? Правилно. Ала хората, които са родени един за друг, по-лесно могат да се разделят. Също като тенджерата и похлупака, направени по мярка - те се отделят без трудност. Но ако капакът не отговаря на тенджерата и трябва да се набие с чук в нея, то при опит да ги отделиш - много лесно нещо може да се счупи.
