That surely, you had loved me
Only once, even if it were a lie”

“And throughout all eternity
I forgive you, you forgive me.”

“It was odd that I should discover eternity in this way, long before I knew what eternity was, and even before I had learned the proposition that all man are mortal - yes, while I was actually living in eternity myself. It was as if a fish were suddenly to discover the water it swam in. I mentioned this to my grandfather one day when we happened to be alone in the living-room.”

Halldór Laxness (1902–1998) Icelandic author

Brekkukotsannáll (The Fish Can Sing) (1957)

“In all matters of eternal truth, the soul is before the intellect; the things of God are spiritually discerned. You know truth by being true; you recognize God by being like Him.”

What? Eternity.
It is the sea
Gone with the sun.”

Elle est retrouvée,
Quoi ?
L'Éternité.
C'est la mer allée
Avec le soleil.

Variant translation:
It has been recovered.
What? — Eternity.
It is the sea escaping
With the sun.
