" Lying down, I close my eyes.  I see an abyss that opens vertiginously, like an endless pit that deepens, looking into a kind of uncontrollable water, which widens itself with hallucinatory speed, and I’m dragged into this movement; delirium of simplest cosmogony, a birth-giving abyss indefinitely itself. "

― Emil M. Cioran , Taccuino di Talamanca: Ibiza (31 luglio-25 agosto 1966)
