[Light by Henri Barbusse]@TWC D-Link bookLight CHAPTER XIV 11/15
Will the sky ever recover the huge peace of the sun and the stainless blue? A little order, a little lucidity are coming back into my mind.
Then I begin to think about myself. Am I going to die, yes or no? Where can I be wounded? I have managed to look at my hands, one by one; they are not dead, and I saw nothing in their dark trickling.
It is extraordinary to be made motionless like this, without knowing where or how.
I can do no more on earth than lift my eyes a little to the edge of the world where I have rolled. Suddenly I am pushed by a movement of the horse on which I am lying.
I see that he has turned his great head aside; he is mournfully eating grass.
