The
stranger
Tell me, enigmatical
man, whom do you love best, your father,
your mother, your sister, or your brother?
I have neither
father, nor mother, nor sister, nor brother.
Your friends?
Now you use a word whose meaning I have never known.
Your country?
I do not know in what latitude it lies.
Beauty?
I could indeed love her, Goddess and Immortal.
Gold?
I hate it as you hate God.
Then, what do you love, extraordinary stranger?
I love the clouds...the clouds that pass...up there...up there...
the wonderful clouds!
