• El rojo ha sido alabado por su nobleza de color de la vida. Pero el verdadero color de la vida no es el rojo. El rojo es el color de la violencia, o de la vida rota, editada y publicada. O si el rojo es realmente el color de la vida, sólo lo es a condición de que no se vea. Una vez totalmente visible, el rojo es el color de la vida violada, y en el acto de la traición y del despilfarro.

• The eyelids confess, and reject, and refuse to reject. They have expressed all things ever since man was man. And they express so much by seeming to hide or to reveal that which indeed expresses nothing. For there is no message from the eye. It has direction, it moves, in the service of the sense of sight; it receives the messages of the world. But expression is outward, and the eye has it not. There are no windows of the soul, there are only curtains.

• Con mímica, con alabanzas, con ecos o con respuestas, los poetas han superado a la campana. La inarticulada campana ha encontrado demasiadas interpretaciones, demasiadas rimas que pretenden acercarse a su inaccesible expresión y concordar con su remota lengua. La campana, como el pájaro, es un músico acosado por la literatura.
