-----Let us not make, between ourselves,
a power that totters as an entity. But something takes acuity
from the mind, the senses go, deafened, blinded, by what I do
not know, force of circumstance perhaps, as though it fake breitling were in
a dark place the hand lashes out, the page is brought out from
the secret place, held fluttering in the shaking hand, the eyes
behind it stare, the mute and anxious stare that misses nothing
and remits nothing, am hublot uk I an oracle who speaks a language he does
not understand? What have I become in my waiting here? Do they
not look at me as though, for all their wish for understanding,
I might perhaps take the thing they had and return a substitute?
Now you can see why I swiss hublot feel the importance of that letter. Inarticulate
anxiety! There’s nothing worse! It makes them indistinguishable!
One cannot help them and the state which they are might as well
be one’s own! So here is your letter: take it and keep it
safe, what it is I do not know, do not know the replica rolex beginning of
it, nor the end, that’s where my knowledge begins and ends,
only, I have heard, there is a trade in the forgery of these
letters, how could it be otherwise, where there is demand and
the truth so slender and so barely known, what more fertile ground
could there be, soon the weeds shade and shoulder one another,
soon they prize apart the stones, certainly, it is possible for
those who have lost what once belonged to them to go to a dozen
places to pay for a facsimile, established schools and fly-by-night
individuals in the shadiness of public squares, at the core of
each is covert desperation. Towards the core. Skill? Oh, that
depends on who is or is not deceived. Cheap? Not in the end.
Oh, no doubt the faults are there, I do not look, cannot bear
to look, the maxim has gone round, so they say, “read the
character as it is within the signature,” what do they mean
by that, and, “the greater the stature the longer the shadow,”
it is the parables that snare the eye, when you do not know the
meaning the clause in which it is conveyed is the one that will
be lost, that’s the pity of it, one may be wrong, but it
seems to be the way, brief the day, in the night all changes,
memory does not last the night, here it is, your letter, repaired
with stamp edging, as best I could, in the half-light, keep it
safe, self-imposed and in the past, I don’t know what, the
life truncated in a minute to follow, what, I do not know, the
youth is made the mouthpiece of the fashionable pedagogue last
heard, does he know it, no, little does he know the kidnap of
himself, perhaps I think aloud, few there are who are not wretched
trumpets of a time to which the poor and lonesome sound, the
wind-borne fragment of the far lament, would be the sound appropriate
for what is lost, so quickly and so quietly that recall would
not find its void, few there are who are not new and the rest
are silent, here is the letter, keep it safe and by you, I think
I am saying what I would be inclined to do myself, now I have
spoken I begin to doubt what I have said, what seemed as clear
as daylight now seems impenetrable, perhaps soon will go, the
briar-path which no-one takes, how broad a road it was, in the
firstlight, of the morning.
