“Manchmal denke ich an die Sonnenuntergänge damals, auf den Feldern um unser kleines Haus im Herbst. Überall Horizont, der ganze weite Kreis des Horizonts umgab mich, wenn ich mich drehte, die sinkende Sonne im Rücken, der Himmel vor mir erst in dunstigem Rosa schimmernd und dann in einem ganz dünnen, neuen Blau, als wollte seine Schönheit nie aufhören, während das Land im Westen schon dunkel wird, fast schwarz scheint es vor der orangeglimmernden Linie des Horizonts, aber nur eine kleine Drehung, und es nimmt wieder Kontur an, ganz weich alles jetzt, die spärlichen Bäume, die stillen, schon umgepflügten Felder, und am Himmel ein Widerschein, immer noch, und dann endlich, Dunkel. Damit die Seele, diese Augenblicke lang, ruhig sein kann.
Leben, denke ich manchmal, heißt Staunen.”

“At times these days I think of the way the sun would set on the farmland around our small house in the autumn. A view of the horizon, the whole entire circle of it, if you turned, the sun setting behind you, the sky in front becoming pink and soft, then slightly blue again, as though it could not stop going on in its beauty, then the land closest to the setting sun would get dark, almost black against the orange line of horizon, but if you turn around, the land is still available to the eye with such softness, the few trees, the quiet fields of cover crops already turned, and the sky lingering, lingering, then finally dark. As though the soul can be quiet for those moments. All life amazes me.”
