He understood quite well that she had possibly forgotten everything. That did not bother him. He wondered if he did not want to take possession of what she knew, more by forgetting than by remembering… It was necessary that he, too, enter into forgetting.
He had often had the impression that she was speaking but that she was not yet speaking. And so he waited. He was, confined with her, in the great shifting circle of waiting.
To wait, only to wait. Unfamiliar waiting, equal in all its moments, as is space in all its points; similar to space, exerting the same continuous pressure, not exerting it. Solitary waiting that was within us and has now passed to the outside, waiting for ourselves without ourselves, forcing us to wait outside our own waiting, leaving us nothing more to await.
beni unuttuğunuzdan nasıl bu kadar emin olacaksınız?
başka bir kadını hatırladığımda emin olacağım.
fakat hatırlayacağınız yine ben olacağım; daha fazlasına ihtiyacım var.
başkaları tarafından unutulmak hiç umrumda değil. ben sizin tarafınızdan, sadece sizin tarafınızdan unutulmak istiyorum.
