"Now I understood that I never felt at home in this environment, in the framework of the cool writing. I was looking for something, something I was missing forever... What? To breathe in my own world, my own air. I missed that and maybe that's why I traveled from here in these years whenever possible; always, for decades. Well, I've finally arrived, I thought. And I looked intently at the airy nothingness that remained.

Now I understood that I never felt at home in this environment, in the framework of the cool writing. I was looking for something, something I was missing forever... What? To breathe in my own world, my own air. I missed that and maybe that's why I traveled from here in these years whenever possible; always, for decades. Well, I've finally arrived, I thought. And I looked intently at the airy nothingness that remained.
""Most megértettem, hogy én - ebben a környezetben, a jólmenő íróság keretében - soha nem éreztem otthon magam. Valamit kerestem, valami örökké hiányzott... Mi? Az, hogy a magam világában, a saját levegőm lélegezzem. Ez hiányzott és talán ezért utaztam el innen ezekben az években, amikor csak lehetett; mindig, évtizedeken át. No, de most végre megérkeztem, gondoltam. És figyelmesen néztem a levegős semmit, ami megmaradt."
