Now I'm fat and cannot put on my old sweater.

If man completely forgets that there is death, that there is an end to it all, we risk becoming monkeys again.

Be overly aware of the existence of this end and you'll get from people the most extraordinary efforts. Whomever knows this constantly is capable of raising mountains, is capable of the wildest liberties, the most courageous acts.

the ivy climbs
on my grandparents cross
somewhere in the field—
kindled candles
shadows come to life

Whereas "false stories" can be told anywhere and at any time, myths must not be recited except during a period of sacred time.
