"He is sitting there on the edge of the hideous abyss, on the edge of destruction, the abyss is already pulling him down, and he just blinks and closes his ears when he is warned of danger! But what are you waiting for? Maybe a miracle? Yes, that's the only way! Aren't these the symptoms of insanity?
