Instead of comments:
‘Sin is not the most dangerous when it openly opposes virtue, but when
it masks itself as virtue and infects our sense of recognition.’
(SÁNDOR WEÖRES)
Once in winter I saw a man, he was stooping forward at a right angle,
propping his forehead on the radiator in the staircase; gripping the
knobs of the heavily stuffed sacklike plastic bags on both sides, not
moving. As I went upstairs, a man just about to walk his dog asked me:
’Haven’t you seen animals around here? Sometimes they sleep in here,
you know.’

’Neither the individual, nor mankind as a whole has become either
cleverer, better, happier or more intelligent in the course of time. It
became more mature. Novalis says, ’Man does nothing else but
continuously returns home.’ Mankind does the same. We are five thousand
years closer to our final homecoming. (…) For countless millenniums,
the human heart, inseminated by its own image, has been expecting and
pregnant: with itself. It has wanted to give birth to itself for
infinite times with immeasurable pain and moving perseverance.’
