The quote about the narrator looking at his reflection and for the first time in months he heard the song of his own voice.
“I recognized it as the same one that had been ringing in my ears for many long days, & I realized that all that time I had been talking to myself. Then I remembered what the nurse at Maman’s funeral said. No, there was no way out, & no one can imagine what nights in prison are like.”

Especially when the emptiness of a man’s heart becomes, we find it in this man, an abyss threatening to swallow up society.”
