I would like to tell you
about a marvelous creature
:24:15
who my restless spirit
looked for all my life.
:24:23
I was in Switzerland,
in the antique town of Bern,
:24:26
a guest of Doctor Moebius,
a famous entomologist.
:24:32
I was looking at his daughters
at work, scientists and seers,
:24:40
when suddenly a silence
isolated me from everything,
:24:44
and I was overtaken
by a strange ill feeling.
