Yo era tan pronto muy nervioso, o muy aplastado; muy excitado, o inerte, somnoliento. Yo también cargaba mis baterías y las descargaba de golpe; pero muy a menudo a propósito de una insignificancia y con gran extrañeza de todos.

O world, world when I was younger I thought there was some order governing you and your deeds. But now you seem to be a labyrinth of errors, a frightful desert, a den of wild beasts, a game in which men move in circles…a stony field, a meadow full of serpents, a flowering but barren orchard, a spring of cares, a river of tears, a sea of suffering, a vain hope.
