"... They say that I should die. They say that I blew a candle of someone else"s life and now the same fate should comprehend me. At these words, it seems to me that we are all candles, reverently and brightly burning in the dark, in the warrior wind - and then in the silence of the room I hear steps, terribly and inexorably approaching steps of the one who blow up my flame, and my life will fly away with a gray curl smoke ".
