That
morning, on waking, I could remember it. You should know, if you
dream and you keep it in your memory, if ever, when you reemerge from
the long hiatus of the night, you have the feeling that the real life
is a dream and the dream is the reality, then you will no longer
perceived as something threatening, the prolonged burden of necessity
and certainty.
In
my case, I wrote it down in a precise way: from outside the house
seemed larger and more isolated. It was standing in the middle of a
barren field whose sight went to the horizon and beyond. There were
no mountains or seas wrapping the landscape, only a sky afire in red
and purple tones that threatened to collapse. The floor was covered
with weird dead leaves, fragile and translucent. I felt them creaking
at every step as I walked toward the door.
Now
I was alone and inside forever. Nobody waited for me in that quiet
and desolate place.The walls were covered with clocks that did not
work. No two were alike in size or in shape and each one was marking
a different time. Aside this, there was not any furniture or device
but from a vague place an ambiguous and stark melody emerged inciting
delirium.
I
climbed shifting ladders returning to the starting point. I crossed
doors leading to corridors that opened doors to other identical. I
went through dozens of rooms, but I found nothing different from the
solitude of clocks stuck in time.
Then, I realized that mine was a sterile endeavour, so I decided to wait out that reality revolved to offer me an answer. I felt the groan of hinges and the walls collapse around me. Then the library came before me, extending in all directions. As far as the eye could see seemed infinite and in their bookcases probably kept an infinite knowledge as well. I chose a corridor randomly, anyone bookcase, a book between hundreds and I opened it without more criteria than the necessity. Then, I read, as one sings a psalm, the first lines: from outside the house seemed larger and more isolated...
