"Algo comienza para terminar: la aventura no admite añadidos; sólo cobra sentido con su muerte. Hacia esta muerte, que acaso sea también la mía, me veo arrastrado irremisiblemente. Cada instante aparece para traer los siguientes. Me aferro a cada instante con toda el alma; sé que es único, irremplazable y, sin embargo, no movería un dedo para impedir su aniquilación. El último minuto que paso en brazos de una mujer conocida la antevíspera –minuto que amo apasionadamente, mujer que estoy a punto de amar- terminará, lo sé. Me inclino sobre cada segundo, trato de agotarlo; no dejo nada sin captar, sin fijar para siempre en mí, nada, ni la ternura fugitiva de esos hermosos ojos, y sin embargo, el minuto transcurre y no lo retengo; me gusta que pase."                                                                                                                                          

 “Something is beginning in order to end: adventure does not let itself be drawn out; it only makes sense when dead. I am drawn, irrevocably, towards this death which is perhaps mine as well. Each instant appears only as part of a sequence. I cling to each instant with all my heart: I know that it is unique, irreplaceable -- and yet I would not raise a finger to stop it from being annihilated. This last moment I am spending -- in Berlin, in London -- in the arms of a woman casually met two days ago -- moment I love passionately, woman I may adore -- all is going to end, I know it. Soon I shall leave for another country. I shall never rediscover either this woman or this night. I grasp at each second, trying to suck it dry: nothing happens which I do not seize, which I do not fix forever in myself, nothing, neither the fugitive tenderness of those lovely eyes, nor the noises of the street, nor the false dawn of early morning: and even so the minute passes and I do not hold it back, I like to see it pass...”
