"Everything is on the point of Decline" "As if one is were sinking into sand" "approaching the outer limits of our solar system" "when the dog days where drawing to an end" "A last glimpse of the land being lost forever" "the homesickness Corroding soul of her" "I have become almost invisible to some extent like a dead man" "in the deep and dark hours of the night" "No one Knows what shadowy haunt this day" "increasingly absorbed in this own world" "isolated lights on the abyss of ignorance"
