“Trémula de excitação, baixou-se, passeou as mãos sobre o chão, encontrou, este é um cheiro que não se confunde com nenhum outro, e o ruído dos pauzinhos quando agitamos a caixa, o deslizar da tampa, a aspereza da lixa exterior, que é onde o fósforo está, o raspar da cabeça do palito, enfim a deflagração da pequena chama, o espaço ao redor, uma difusa esfera luminosa como um astro através da névoa, meu Deus, a luz existe e eu tenho olhos para a ver, louvada seja a luz.”
