“Viņš sēž klusi un brīnās, sēž gluži kā pie mūžības vārtiem. Virs viņa lēnām ieplešas dzīle, cita pēc citas iemirdzas zvaigznes. Kāda gan sūtība ir zvaigznēm? Ir īstais brīdis, Mēness paceļas no jūras un izelpo pasaules telpā sudraba dūmus, tāpēc Markuss prāto arī par to. Kādam nolūkam kalpo Mēness? Tas izskatās vareni, jā gan, bet ko Mēnesim patiesībā nolikts darīt, ja neskaita to, ka tas izrotā debesis? Markuss domā par dzīvi un domā par nāvi, taču visvairāk par cilvēku pašu.
Kāpēc īsti pastāv cilvēks, un kas tam jādara še, uz zemes? Tas ienāk pa vienām durvīm un iziet pa citām – kāpēc, uz kurieni?”
Gabriel Scott, Kilden
