Nach den Ausbrüchen – das Danach ist viele Lebzeiten lang – rieselte leise die Asche des Verständnisses auf ihn herab, dass alle wichtigen Beziehungen in seinem Leben – zu Onkel Maurice, zu Alkan, Sikorski und den anderen Quantentheoretikern, zu seinen Frauen – eindeutig auch zu seinen Kindern, so aussahen: zärtlich-vertraut, ihr Atem in meiner Nase kariessüß, zuckersauer – und doch auch radiophonisch fern, ihre Stimmen piepsen und gurgeln, sie überwinden Lichtjahre.
After the eruptions – and there are many lifetimes of afterwards – it settled down on him, an understanding soft and ashy, that all the important relationships in his life – with his uncle Maurice, with Alkan, with Sikorski and the other Quantity Theorists, with his wives – definitely with his children – were like this: fondling familiar, their breath in my nostrils caries-sweet, sugar-sour – yet also radiophonically remote, their voices bleeping and blooping across the lightyears.
