When travelling at night, we see almost nothing. Absolute darkness. And then, from time to time, a tiny light appears. It´s a lamp the Swedish put by the window, marking a human presence in this seemingly hostile land. And it comforts us.
P.S. I found a newspaper cutting on my desk this morning. It was a quote from Euripides: "Be happy; friends disappear when we are unhappy". I wonder how old he was when he reached that level of wisdom. And don´t rash into conclusions about who´s to blame. Euripides hasn´t said it all here.
