stony hill, the tin jar, the bowl on the ground, the table, the rustic chair,
it was a newborn being that rises before me, coming out of the amazing chaos
of non-life, of the abyss of not being and I felt - no, I knew that each of these
creatures were born out of a horrible doubt that despaired the whole world, that
its existence was an eternal testimony of the hateful abyss of nothingness… I felt
everything the soul of the one who had done all this, who gave this vision a
