― Edna St. Vincent Millay

“Sus ojos muy abiertos contemplaban el espectáculo más fascinante del mundo: la muerte blanca, resplandeciente, que el universo le mandaba en forma de rompecabezas, piezas sueltas de un hermoso misterio.”

― Roland Barthes, Mourning Diary: October 26, 1977–September 15, 1979
