Cesare Pavese cytaty

„Przyjdzie śmierć i będzie miała twoje oczy -
ta śmierć, która nam towarzyszy
od świtu do zmierzchu, bezsenna,
milcząca, jak odwieczne poczucie winy
lub bezsensowny nałóg. Twoje oczy
będą pustym słowem,
przemilczanym krzykiem, ciszą.
Takimi je widzisz co dzień rano
kiedy nad sobą pochylasz się
w lustrze. Kochana nadziejo,
tego dnia i my się dowiemy
że jesteś życiem i że jesteś niczym.
Śmierć ma dla wszystkich spojrzenie.
Przyjdzie śmierć i będzie miała twoje oczy.
Będzie tak, jak gdybyś porzuciła nałóg,
jak gdybyś ujrzała w lustrze
pojawienie się martwej twarzy,
jak gdybyś słuchała zamkniętych warg.
Niemi zstąpimy w topiel.”

Why are they dead?" I wouldn't know what to say. Not now, at any rate. Nor does it seem to me that the others know. Perhaps only dead know, and only for them is the war really over.”
