In the end, we forget the details of our lives that embarrass us or are too painful. We just lie back and allow ourselves to float along calmly over the deep waters, with our eyes closed.
— Patrick Modiano
“She had the right idea, old man, don't you think - to disappear before it gets too late?”

Ciudad de México.
Un soir, t'en souvient-il ? nous voguions en silence ;
On n'entendait au loin, sur l'onde et sous les cieux,
Que le bruit des rameurs qui frappaient en cadence
Tes flots harmonieux.
— Le Lac, Alphonse de Lamartine.
