[Light by Henri Barbusse]@TWC D-Link bookLight CHAPTER XVIII 1/16
EYES THAT SEE Two days have passed.
I get up, dress myself, and open my shutters. It is Sunday, as you can see in the street. I put on my clothes of former days.
I catch myself paying spruce attention to my toilet, since it is Sunday, by reason of the compulsion one feels to do the same things again. And now I see how much my face has hollowed, as I compare it with the one I had left behind in the familiar mirror. I go out, and meet several people.
Madame Piot asks me how many of the enemy I have killed.
I reply that I killed one.
