In the new life, a cloud is better than the right sun. The rain, akin to self-knowledge, appears perpetual. On the other hand, an unexpected train you donユt wait for alone on a platform arrives on schedule. A sail is passing its judgment on the horizonユs lie.
And should anyone ask you メWho are you?モ your reply, メWho --- I? I am Nobody,モ as Ulysses once muttered to Polyphemus.
5. そうして、だれかがお前に、お前は誰だと問う事があると、お前は答える。誰にきかれなくともこの答えを答えるのだ。だれだって?このぼくがかい?ぼくは誰でも無い者だ、I am Nobodyと。これはユリシーズが、ポリフェムスにつぶやくように曾て答えたところだ。Polyphemusとは、ユリシーズが、相手にした一つ目の怪物。その一つ目を潰してか、ユリシーズはその単眼を見えなくして、怪物の洞窟から逃げて難を逃れるようだ。ユリシーズは、Brodskyその人であるかと思われる。
