- Contents:
- Machine generated contents note: pt. I In this house, at night, it is best to hide. You must, to find refuge in the pain, to bury yourself in the asylum of visions, to exist
- pt. II It's like being in front of a mirror, isn't it? But don't deceive yourself, all that you see is a mask. Put one on too, now, right now. Accomplice of the umpteenth subterfuge, you look for an outland where you can manage to fall sick from something else, where you can dance, suffer, surpass yourself. Quis hunc nostrum chamaeleonta non [ect.]
- pt. III If there is anything left to look at, look here, in these shadow chambers where you will find neither present nor future but only the defeat of the moment, the creation, the gesture. There is no salvation in our adventures, in the illusions. Only the wounds of the past, the echoes of words, the traces of agony [ect.]
- pt. IV ...In this boarding house the earth will come to laugh and to feast all our confessions, laments, prayers, all our anathemas.
