“I’ve lived in darkness a long time. Over the years my eyes adjusted until the dark became my world and I could see.”
Adam: After the Big Bang, the expansion of the universe slowed down but then after seven billion years for some reason it speeded up again and it’s been speeding up ever since. Someday everything you see here will disappear forever and eventually the night sky will be almost completely dark. Beth: That’s kinda sad. Adam: Sad?
-Adam (2009)
translated by David R. McCann When you leave, weary of me, without a word I shall gently let you go. From Mt. Yak in Yongbyon I shall gather armfuls of azaleas and scatter them on your way. Step by step on the flowers placed before you tread lightly, softly as you go. When you leave weary of me, though I die, I'll not let one tear fall.
