"Kota-kota menyapu saya seperti dedaunan mati, dedaunan yang berwarna cerah tetapi dirobek dari dahan. Saya akan berhenti, tetapi saya dikejar sesuatu. Itu selalu datang pada saya tanpa disadari, mengejutkan saya sama sekali. Mungkin itu sedikit musik yang akrab. Mungkin itu hanya sepotong kaca transparan."

--- Tennessee Williams

Versi Bahasa Inggris

The cities swept about me like dead leaves, leaves that were brightly colored but torn away from the branches. I would have stopped, but I was pursued by something. It always came upon me unawares, taking me altogether by surprise. Perhaps it was a familiar bit of music. Perhaps it was only a piece of transparent glass.
