    El mundo no es de los que sueñan. Allí en los cementerios ha guardado la muerte la frustración de muchos sueños. Allí en las tumbas sin cruz, sin flores y sin nombre descansan generales sin espada y sin ejército; sacerdotes sin hábito ni templo; navegantes sin barcos y sin mar; escritores de renombre sin papel y sin pluma. Son los pobres diablos que soñaron riquezas y murieron ignorados; que soñaron con la dicha y solamente tuvieron el dolor de la miseria.

The music lived, but the world was dead. And the song would die one day, she thought, but how would the world come back to life? How would its salt come back? The Price of Salt [Carol is the film based on this title.]

    Listen. Dead people never stop talking. Maybe because death is not death at all, just a detention after school. You know where you’re coming from and you’re always returning from it. You know where you’re going though you never seem to get there and you’re just dead. Dead.
