"Gunung-gunung bergerigi berwarna biru murni di fajar dan di mana-mana burung berkicau dan matahari ketika terbit menangkap bulan di barat sehingga mereka berbaring saling bertentangan di bumi, matahari membeku dan bulan replika pucat, seolah-olah mereka adalah ujung dari sebuah lubang umum di luar terminal yang membakar dunia melewati semua perhitungan."

--- Cormac McCarthy

Versi Bahasa Inggris

The jagged mountains were pure blue in the dawn and everywhere birds twittered and the sun when it rose caught the moon in the west so that they lay opposed to each other across the earth, the sun whitehot and the moon a pale replica, as if they were the ends of a common bore beyond whose terminals burned worlds past all reckoning.
