Ya no nos queda demasiada música dentro para hacer bailar la vida: ahí está. Toda la juventud ha ido a morir al fin del mundo en el silencio de la verdad. ¿Y a dónde ir, fuera, decidme, cuando no llevas contigo la suma suficiente de delirio? La verdad es una agonía que nunca acaba. La verdad de este mundo es la muerte. Hay que escoger: morir o mentir. Yo nunca he podido matar."
L. F. C. (Viaje al fin de la Noche)
What can I hold you with?
I offer you lean streets, desperate sunsets, the
moon of the jagged suburbs.
I offer you the bitterness of a man who has looked
long and long at the lonely moon.
(...)
I offer you whatever insight my books may hold,
whatever manliness or humour my life.
I offer you the loyalty of a man who has never
been loyal.
I offer you that kernel of myself that I have saved,
somehow --the central heart that deals not
in words, traffics not with dreams, and is
untouched by time, by joy, by adversities.
I offer you the memory of a yellow rose seen at
sunset, years before you were born.
I offer you explanations of yourself, theories about
yourself, authentic and surprising news of
yourself.
I can give you my loneliness, my darkness, the
hunger of my heart; I am trying to bribe you
with uncertainty, with danger, with defeat.
