comatized

Updated: May 19, 2025

With nothing in front of the eye but an infinity of sky and distance and nothing active in that distance but dazzling heat, moving over the desert, the mind becomes a part of the intense solitude. The traveller's ego is comatized; he takes his place with the elements. When the traveller's long day's march is done, the wonder of the starlit nights makes his past life seem still more unreal.

He spoke to her, but a quick spasmodic action of her throat and a quivering of her hands alone responded. The sight of her suffering agonized him beyond expression, but he took her hands he pressed them, for they were icy cold he called piteously on her name.
