"The sun, like a golden knife,
was steadily paring away the edge of the shade beside the walls.
The streets were enclosed between old, whitewashed walls.
Everywhere were peace and stillness,
as though all the elements were obeying
the sacred law of calm and silence imposed by the blazing heat.
It seemed as though mystery was everywhere
and my lungs hardly dared to inhale the air."
Sadegh Hedayat
