THE WORLD
A man from the town of Neguá, on the coast of Colombia, was able to climb to high heaven. On his return he told the story. He said he had contemplated human life from above. And he said we are a sea of little fires.

Some fires, silly fires, do not light or burn; but others burn the life with such passion that one cannot look at them without blinking, and whoever comes close to them lights up.*
