Elisabet? Can l read you something
from my book?
:22:15
Or am l disturbing you? lt says here:
:22:18
''All the anxiety we bear with us,
all our thwarted dreams'' -
:22:23
- ''the incomprehensible cruelty,
our fear of extinction'' -
:22:28
- ''the painful insight
into our earthly condition'' -
:22:31
- ''have slowly eroded our hope
of an other-wordly salvation.''
:22:37
''The howl of our faith and doubt
against the darkness and silence'' -
:22:42
- ''is one of the most awful proofs
of our abandonment'' -
:22:46
- ''and our terrified,
unuttered knowledge.''
:22:51
Do you think it's like that?
:22:57
l don't believe it.
