Timothy Schaffert, The Swan Gondola
"Hester, meanwhile, says we should live all of life back to front. We should be born old and age younger. Our baptism should be a ritual of our funeral. We should die as infants, content in our mothers' arms, having lost all our learning and all sense of disappointment. If only we could die, she says, not knowing we'd ever grieved."

"تقول هيستر، في غضون ذلك، إنه ينبغي لنا أن نعيش الحياة كلها من الخلف إلى الأمام. أن نولد شيوخًا ونزداد شبابًا. أن تكون معموديتنا طقسًا لجنازتنا. أن نموت أطفالًا رُضّعًا، قانعين في أحضان أمهاتنا، وقد فقدنا كل ما تعلمناه وكل إحساس بالخيبة. ليتنا نموت، تقول، دون أن ندري أننا قد حزنا يومًا."
