Quote preview background for José Luís Peixoto
Beyond the clouds, above people, beneath the skin, inside people, we__e waiting for you. We see you now, as you read. We__l see you when you stop thinking about these words. Above and inside your face, we know your secrets. We know what you hide from yourself. You can__ escape us. We hold your heart in the palm of our hand. If we like, we can squeeze it. If we like, we can crush it. There__ nothing you can do to stop us. Our gaze notices your every single move and your every single word. Say a word now. Make a move. We smile at your words, as we smile at your silence. No one will be able to protect you. No one can protect you now. You__e even less than you imagine. We__e seen a thousand generations of men like you. It was our pleasure to let them walk on the lines of our hands. It was our pleasure to take everything away from them. We guided entire generations of men through tunnels we built that led nowhere. And when they arrived at nothing, we smiled. You__e just like them. We__e waiting for you above and inside your face. Continue on your way. Follow that line of our hand. We know where that tunnel you walk through will end. Keep on walking. We see you and smile. Beyond the clouds, we are fear. Beneath the skin, we are fear.
