Jamás olvidaré ese instante. Fue entonces cuando vi la sombra de nuestras cabezas unidad en la pared encalada. Lámparas, mariposas de aceite por todas partes. Por todas partes, sombras que danzaban, vacilaban, se alejaban por aquel largo y desnudo pasillo.
-Hélène-llamó el enfero-. Hélèn.
No nos movimos. Ella parecía sorber, beberse mi corazón. Cuando la dejé marchar, la quería menos.”

For them that quail to bring men out of ignorance, as I have quailed, and as you quail now when you know in all your black hearts that this be fraud―God damns our kind especially, and we will burn, we will burn together! You are pulling Heaven down and raising up a whore!”
