At heart, this world is but a ward of an asylum, where each and everyone shouts, claims, sustains his madness. One utters: āLove me and be my slave!ā the other one repeats with goggled eyes: āGiāme money! Giāme money!ā another one struggles in chains tied to the hallās pillar: āwomenā¦ women!...ā. And so on, each one takes his stomach out, like a sepia, and invokes passionately, for himself (hoping in the magic of the moment), the formula of his favorite nourishment. This happens at the lower levels, because everything is leveled, and here also. The ones living higher donāt cry out loud; they just whisper, with their eyes half-opened, while their looks glide smoothly over the surroundings.
On the highest floor live those talking normally ā no shouting, no whispering ā those watching normally ā no goggled eyes, nor half-opened, with curious looks. They walk freely, wearing clothes under their smocks and talking to each other: āGood moorning, doctor! How are you today? Oh, me - just fine!... Iām glad, Iām glad, but, you know, I happen to have an interesting case and I could use a little piece of adviceā¦ Yes? Oh, thank you! Youāre so nice! ā What floor are you on? Just raise your head and take a glanceā¦
