Arbejde
Det vigtigste er regelmaessighed. Der er ingen luftige forestillinger om guddommelig indgriben eller en saerlig raedsel for ikke at sla til. En rolig vished antyder, at klippen giver vand, hvis man hamrer laenge nok. Vist er projektet livet om at gore, men det skal man ikke lade nogen maerke - ikke engang sig selv.
Rummet er frisk, det er endnu tidligt pa formiddagen. Remedierne ligger klar, der er hvidt papir, og daekket til maskinen er lige til at tage af. Skodderne ud til star abne, synet er beskaret og sa velkendt, at det tegner sig pa nethinden, allerede for bevidstheden er koblet til. Der er raekken af appelsintraeer, der er den gamle lerovn, der lober stenten ned til marken, hvor man kan sidde med ryggen til landskabet og lade sig opsluge af solflimmeret mellem traeerne og lyden af bierne.

Work
It is all in the routine. There are no lofty notions about divine intervention, nor, on the other hand, any particular fear of failing to deliver. A quiet certainty reassures me that the rock face will eventually yield water if I hammer at it long enough. Yes, of course, the task ahead is a life and death issue, but you can't let anybody notice that, not even yourself.
The air is brisk; morning has not really got going yet. All my possibilities are there waiting for me - sheaves of white paper, and the cover over the manual typewriter almost demanding to be removed. The outer shutters stand open, the view is so defined and familiar to me that it is etched into my retina, even before consciousness has properly kicked in. There, are the rows of apple trees; there, is the old clay oven; there, is the stile leading into the field where you can sit with your back to the world and yield to the sunlight dappling between the trees and the hum of bees.
