“Letter 68


A pod of whales was lying like long reclining Buddhas on the sea.
My sister and I put our ears to the bottom of the boat so we could listen to their songs.

We turned to my grandfather and asked, "What do their song mean?"

"The whales do not sing because they have an answer," he said.
"They sing because they have a song.”

And being restrain'd it by degrees becomes passive till it is only the shadow of desire.”
― William Blake

“Мы так много пьем и говорим о прошлом, что добрались уже до мезозоя.”
