Ihm war, als dringe seine Mutter nicht zu ihm vor, als schwebe er, für immer im Halbschlaf des Nachtmahrs gefesselt, unter Wasser, und die Mutter stehe auf der anderen Seite einer ihn gefangenhaltenden Membran und rufe und liebkose ihn dort draußen, aber es gebe keine Möglichkeit, jemals wieder dorthin zu gelangen.
He felt as if his mother weren’t able to reach him, as if he were floating underwater, shackled forever in the half sleep of that nightmare, and his mother were standing on the other side of a membrane that imprisoned him, calling and caressing him from without, but that there was no way for him ever to reach the other side. How childish that had been.
