I chose. Now the twilight casts its haze upon the hilltops. The shadows have lengthened, the air has filled with the dead. The battle is drawing to a close. Did I win or lose? The only thing I know is this: I am full of wounds and still standing on my feet.
Full of wounds, all in the breast. I did what I could, grandfather. More than I could, just as you directed. I did not want you to feel ashamed of me. Now that the battle is over, I come to recline at your side, to become dust at your side, that the two of us may await the Final Judgment together.
I kiss your hand, grandfather. I kiss your right shoulder, I kiss your left shoulder.
Grandfather, hello!
