I would like to tell you
about a marvelous creature
:25:22
who my restless spirit
looked for all my life.
:25:29
I was in Switzerland,
in the antique town of Bern,
:25:32
a guest of Doctor Moebius,
a famous entomologist.
:25:38
I was looking at his daughters
at work, scientists and seers,
:25:47
when suddenly a silence
isolated me from everything,
:25:50
and I was overtaken
by a strange ill feeling.
