“Oskar antwortet: Afrika suchte ich unter den Röcken, womöglich Neapel, das man bekantlich gesehen haben nuß. Da flossen die Ströme zusammen, da war die Wasserscheide, da wehten besondere Winde, da konnte es aber auch windstill sein, da rauschte der Regen, aber man saß im Trocken, da machten die Schiffe fest, oder die Anker wurden gelichtet, da saß neben Oskar der liebe Gott, der es schon immer gerne warm gehabt hat, da putzte der Teufel sein Fernrohr, da spielten Engelchen blinde Kuh; unter den Röcken mein Großmutter war immer Sommer, auch wenn der Weihnachtsbaum brannte, auch wenn ich Ostereier suchte oder Allerheiligen feierte. Nirgendwo konnte ich ruhiger nach dem Kalendar leben als unter den Röcken meiner Großmutter.”
