• My spirits rose as I went deeper; into the forest; but I could not regain my former elasticity of mind. I found cheerfulness to be like life itself - not to be created by any argument. Afterwards I learned, that the best way to manage some kinds of pain fill thoughts, is to dare them to do their worst; to let them lie and gnaw at your heart till they are tired; and you find you still have a residue of life they cannot kill. So, better and worse, I went on, till I came to a little clearing in the forest.

• It was pitch dark. I could hear only the violin, and it was as though Juliek's soul were the bow. He was playing his life. The whole of his life was gliding on the strings--his last hopes, his charred past, his extinguished future. He played as he would never play again...When I awoke, in the daylight, I could see Juliek, opposite me, slumped over, dead. Near him lay his violin, smashed, trampled, a strange overwhelming little corpse.

• Estamos cansados, mi corazón y yo. Nos sentamos así junto a la lápida, Y deseamos que ese nombre fuera tallado para nosotros. El musgo reimprime más tiernamente Los duros tipos del cuchillo del albañil, Como la dulce vida del cielo renueva la vida de la tierra Con la que estamos cansados, mi corazón y yo .... En esta tierra abundante sin duda Hay poco lugar para las cosas gastadas: ¡Despreciadlas, rompedlas, arrojadlas! Y si antes de que los días se volvieran ásperos Una vez fuimos amados, usados, - bastante bien, creo, nos ha ido, a mi corazón y a mí.
