“Strangeness is the form taken by beauty when beauty has no hope.”
Antoine Volodine, Minor Angels

“Erbe che si parano contro i polpacci, le ginocchia, le cosce. Erbe che si spezzano raramente, a eccezione della bella dama, della regrinella, della mortaccina dal gran ciuffo, della godifoglia. Erbe aspre, elastiche, violente. Erbe che si ritraggono al minimo contatto, come la spingistorta, la sterpafina, la majdahara, la soffisplendida, la barbafeccia pellegrina, la madre dei lebbrosi. Erbe che il piede non riesce a schiacciare mai, in nessun circostanza. Erbe che spandono odori forti e sgradevoli, come la sciacquorina, la biattola degli errabondi, e addirittura pestilenziali, come l'aldenga campanulata. Erbe raccolte in siepi ardue da scavalcare. Erbe che emanano il loro profumo quando è sera. Erbe dal succo acre. Erbe dal succo inebriante, come l'estasia luminosa o l'estasia divina. Verde scuro, verde smeraldo, verde giallastro, verde argento come l'atrabava del chincagliere, verde bronzo come l'atrabava del dirupo. Semi, verde opaco, verde brillante, spighe. Nessun fiore. Erbe che non evocano nulla, se non insulsaggine e assenza. Erbe delicate, senza nerbo.”
Antoine Volodine, Radiant Terminus

“Aveva costruito la propria esistenza su valori diversi dall'eroismo, e da quando era diventato presidente del kolchoz privilegiava la magia nera, le incursioni nel mondo dei sogni e negli universi paralleli, popolati da morti viventi, fanciulle meravigliose , animali e fiamme. L'eroismo e le vacche, là dentro, occupavano un posto molto limitato.”
Antoine Volodine, Terminus radieux
