- I've been thinking about the old days, when the Romans first came here, one thousand nine hundred years ago... yesterday... The light, would you say, was lit on this river in the time of the knights? Yes, but it was like flames spreading across the plain, like lightning in the clouds. We live in the flash of lightning - may it never go out as long as our old land orbits! But yesterday there was darkness here. Imagine the mood of the commander of a beautiful...what are they called?...ah yes!..trireme in the Mediterranean, who suddenly receives orders to sail north. He rides overland, hastily crosses the lands of the Gauls, and takes command of one of those vessels which, if the books are to be believed, were built by a hundred legionaries in a month or two... What nimble fellows these men must have been!..! Imagine this commander showing up here, at the edge of the world... The sea is leaden, the sky is the color of smoke, the ship is as clumsy as a concertina, and he's going up the river, carrying orders, or goods, or... whatever you want.

And imagine a young Roman from a good family, wearing a toga. He, you know, was too fond of playing dice and, to improve his affairs, arrived here in the retinue of a prefect, a tax collector or a merchant. He landed among the swamps, walked through the woods, and at some camp in the back country felt the wilderness closing in around him, felt the beating of mysterious life in the forest, in the jungle, in the hearts of the savages. There could be no initiation into these mysteries. He is condemned to live in an environment beyond comprehension, which in itself is disgusting. And there is a certain charm in it that makes itself felt. An enchantment in the hideous. Imagine his growing regret, his desire to flee, his helpless disgust, his refusal to fight, his hatred...
