"Setiap daun yang menyapu wajahnya memperdalam kesedihan dan ketakutannya. Setiap daun yang dia lewati, dia tidak akan pernah lewat lagi. Mereka menunggang wajahnya seperti kerudung, sudah berwarna kuning, uratnya seperti tulang ramping di mana matahari bersinar melalui mereka. Dia telah memutuskan dirinya untuk naik karena dia tidak bisa kembali dan dunia hari itu sama indahnya dengan hari apa pun yang pernah ada dan dia naik ke kematiannya."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Each leaf that brushed his face deepened his sadness and dread. Each leaf he passed he'd never pass again. They rode over his face like veils, already some yellow, their veins like slender bones where the sun shone through them. He had resolved himself to ride on for he could not turn back and the world that day was as lovely as any day that ever was and he was riding to his death.
