“I saw white figures. Twice I fancied I saw a solitary white, ape-like creature running rather quickly up the hill, and once near the ruins I saw a leash of them carrying some dark body.”
“I saw no cause for their unhappiness, but I was deeply affected by it. If such lovely creatures were miserable, it was less strange that I, an imperfect and solitary being, should be wretched.”
“I saw the world in black and white instead of the vibrant colours and shades I knew existed.”
“Gazing up into the darkness I saw myself as a creature driven and derided by vanity; and my eyes burned with anguish and anger.”
“I saw a monkey walking on a leash and thought it was an ugly foreign child.”
“I now saw, with great dismay, that what I had been carrying all this time was not a bowl but a book. This ruined everything.”
