‘The beating of a rooster's wings, the tracks left by a salamander or a varano in the soil, the swollen hood of a cobra, the wide-open jaws of a snake, the signs of a viper burrowing into the sand, the globular eye of a toad, in which the world is reflected in an anamorphic image, these are the gateways to the enigma of the world, more open than cryptic texts that claim to exhaust the essence of reality.
Camilla believes less in the words of philosophers, in the verbiage of chatterboxes, than in the murmurs of animals, their cries, their grunts, their breath, their sighs.’
