Novecento
" T Utta that city ... you could not see the end ...
The end, please, you could see the end?
It was all very nice, on that ladder ... and I was great with that nice coat, I did my look great, and I had no doubts that I would come down, there was no problem.
not what I saw stopped me, Max
is what I saw.
You understand? What I saw ... In all that vast city There was everything except the end.
There was everything.
But there was an end. What I did not see where it all ended. The end of the world.
You think of a piano. The keys begin. The keys end. You know who are 88, nobody could care about this. Are not infinite, they. You are infinite, and in those 88-key music that you can do is endless.
This I like. This I can live.
But if I climb up the ladder, and unfolds in front of me a keyboard of millions of keys, millions and billions of keys that never end, and this is the truth, that never end ... That keyboard is infinite. But
if that keyboard is infinite, then on that keyboard there is no music that you can play. You're sitting on the seat wrong: that is playing the piano on which God
Christ, but you saw on the streets? Even
only the streets, there were thousands! But tell me, how are you doing down there to pick one.
to choose a woman.
A house, a land that is yours, to look at a landscape, a way of dying.
All that world on which not even know where it ends, and how much there is.
You never fear, you end up in a thousand pieces only to think, that huge, just think of it? A live ...
I was born there on this ship. And see, here again the world has moved, but no more than two thousand people at a time. And there were wishes but no more than we could fit on a ship, between a bow and stern. You played your happiness on a keyboard that was not infinite.
I have learned to live this way.
Earth ... is a ship too big for me. She is too beautiful. It is a journey too long. It is a perfume too strong. It is music that does not know how to play.
not go by ship.
At most, I can get out of my life. I n early all, I do not even exist. "
