“I see nobody on the road, said Alice.
I only wish I had such eyes, the King remarked in a fretful tone. To be able to see Nobody! And at that distance too! Why, its as much as I can do to see real people, by this light!”

“Dust rises from the main road and old Délira is stooping in front of her hut. She doesnt look up, she softly shakes her head, her headkerchief all askew, letting out a strand of grey hair powdered, it appears, with the same dust pouring through her fingers like a rosary of misery. She repeats, we will all die, and she calls on the good Lord.”
—Jacques Roumain (19071945)
