. . . they were my friends for a great number of years they were my greatest friends they floated alongside me to keep me company they were the first great friends I made here I would awaken from sleep I would awaken after a night of sleep or after a day of sleep I would awaken to find my tears still floating at my side I would be overjoyed upon awakening having opened my eyes to find thousands of tears thousands of old friends still faithfully floating alongside no matter how lonely no matter how tormented I might later suggest to have felt during this period no matter were I later to suggest having experienced only terrible loneliness throughout the duration of this period I would not have been correct in so saying I would not have been correct because I had my tears in so saying I would have failed to remember my tears for they remained with me all the while all the while during this period which if I remember correctly briefly overlapped with another period a period during which I concentrated my efforts exclusively upon the nature of space the nature of empty space to be precise my thinking of which was of course reflected in the subject of our conversations our conversations being one way conversations conversations proceeding from me in the direction of my tears never from my tears in the direction of me tears being unable to speak this first period by which I mean that very lengthy period a great number of years before my ducts went dry. . . . |
