"Dini hari lalu lintas mulai menyumbat jalan dengan mobil. Matahari miring di belakangnya. Harry melirik para pengemudi mobil. Mereka tampak tidak bahagia. Dunia tidak bahagia. Orang-orang berada dalam kegelapan. Orang-orang ketakutan dan kecewa. Orang-orang terjebak dalam perangkap. Orang-orang bersikap defensif dan panik. Mereka merasa seolah-olah hidup mereka sia-sia. Dan mereka benar."

--- Charles Bukowski

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Early evening traffic was beginning to clog the avenue with cars. The sun slanted down behind him. Harry glanced at the drivers of the cars. They seemed unhappy. The world was unhappy. People were in the dark. People were terrified and disappointed. People were caught in traps. People were defensive and frantic. They felt as if their lives were being wasted. And they were right.
