"Frågan är om det finns några svar?
- Svaret är att det bara finns frågor."
"The question is if there are any answers?
- The answer is that there are only questions."
One of the strange things about living in the world is that it is
only now and then one is quite sure one is going to live forever and
ever and ever. One knows it sometimes when one gets up at the tender
solemn dawn-time and goes out and stands alone and throws one’s head
back and looks up and up and watches the pale sky slowly changing and
flushing and marvellous unknown things happen until the East almost
makes one cry out and one’s heart stands still at the strange unchanging
majesty of the rising of the sun - which has been happening every
morning for thousands and thousands of years. One knows it for a moment
or so. And one knows it sometimes when one stands by oneself in a wood
at sunset and the mysterious deep gold stillneess slanting through and
under the branches seems to be saying slowly again and again something
one cannot quite hear, however much one tries. Then somethime the
immense quiet of the dark blue at night with millions of stars waiting
and watching makes one sure ; and sometimes a sound of far-off music
makes it true ; and
sometimes
a look in someone’s eyes.
