When I consider the small span of my life absorbed in the eternity of all time, or the small part of space which I can touch or see engulfed by the infinite immensity of spaces that I know not and that know me not, I am frightened and astonished to see myself here instead of there... now instead of then.

    عندما أفكر في الفترة الصغيرة من حياتي التي تم امتصاصها في الأبدية في كل العصور ، أو الجزء الصغير من الفضاء الذي يمكنني لمسه أو رؤيته غارقة في ضخامة المساحات التي لا أعرفها والتي لا تعرفني ، أشعر بالخوف و مندهشة لرؤية نفسي هنا بدلاً من هناك ... الآن بدلاً من ذلك الحين.
