To think that in a moment all will be said, all to do again.

The Calmative (1946)

All I say cancels out, I’ll have said nothing.

The Calmative (1946)

I marshalled the words and opened my mouth, thinking I would hear them. But all I heard was a kind of rattle, unintelligible even to me who knew what was intended.

The Calmative (1946)

How tell what remains ? But it’s the end. Or have I been dreaming, am I dreaming? No no, none of that, for dream is nothing, a joke, and significant what is worse.

The Calmative (1946)
