Kutipan
[sunting | sunting sumber]- He is half of my soul, as the poets say.[3]
- "Dia adalah separuh jiwaku, seperti kata para penyair."
- I could recognize him by touch alone, by smell; I would know him blind, by the way his breaths came and his feet struck the earth. I would know him in death, at the end of the world.[4]
- "Aku bisa mengenalinya hanya lewat sentuhan, lewat penciuman; aku akan mengenalinya dalam keadaan buta, lewat cara napasnya datang dan langkah kakinya menginjak bumi. Aku akan mengenalinya dalam kematian, di ujung dunia."
- And perhaps it is the greater grief, after all, to be left on earth when another is gone.[4]
- "Dan mungkin kesedihan yang lebih besar lagi adalah ketika kita ditinggalkan di bumi saat yang lain telah tiada."
