"Pernah ada sungai kecil di sungai di pegunungan. Anda bisa melihat mereka berdiri di arus kuning di mana tepi putih sirip mereka meliuk lembut di aliran. Mereka berbau lumut di tangan Anda. Dipoles dan berotot dan torsi. Di punggung mereka ada pola-pola vermikulasi yang menjadi peta dunia dalam bentuknya. Peta dan labirin. Dari hal yang tidak bisa dikembalikan. Tidak dibuat benar lagi. Dalam kegelapan yang dalam di mana mereka tinggal semua hal lebih tua dari manusia dan mereka bersenandung misteri."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Once there were brook trout in the streams in the mountains. You could see them standing in the amber current where the white edges of their fins wimpled softly in the flow. They smelled of moss in your hand. Polished and muscular and torsional. On their backs were vermiculate patterns that were maps of the world in its becoming. Maps and mazes. Of a thing which could not be put back. Not be made right again. In the deep glens where they lived all things were older than man and they hummed of mystery.
