sword cut first through my hand and then clear through my neck; lopping off

my head。

I knew I’d been beheaded from the two odd steps taken by my poor body

which had left me behind in its confusion; from the stupid manner in which

my hand waved the dagger and from the way my lonely body collapsed; blood

spraying  from  the  neck  like  a  fountain。  My  poor  feet;  which  continued  to

move as though still walking; kicked uselessly like the legs of a dying horse。

From the muddy ground upon which my head had fallen; I could neither

see my murderer nor my satchel full of gold pieces and pictures; which I still

wanted to cling to tightly。 These things were behind me; in the direction of the

hill leading down to the sea and Galleon Harbor which I would never reach。

My  head  would  never  again  turn  and  see  them;  or  the  rest  of  the  world。  I

forgot about them and let my thoughts take me away。

This is what occurred to me the moment before I was beheaded: The ship

shall depart from the harbor; this was joined in my mind with a mand to

hurry;  it  was  the  way  my  mother  would  say  “hurry”  when  I  was  a  child。

Mother; my neck aches and all is still。

This is what they call death。

But I knew that I wasn’t dead yet。 My punctured pupils were motionless;

but I could still see quite well through my open eyes。

What I saw from ground level filled my thoughts: The road inclining slightly

upward; the wall; the arch; the roof of the workshop; the sky…this is how the

picture receded。

It seemed as if this moment of observation went on and on and I realized

seeing  had  bee  a  variety  of  memory。  I  was  reminded  of  what  I  thought

when  staring  for  hours  at  a  beautiful  picture:  If  you  stare  long  enough  your

mind enters the time of the painting。

All time had now bee this time。

It seemed as if no one would see me; as my thoughts faded away; my mud…

covered  head  would  go  on  staring  at  this  melancholy  incline;  the  stone  wall

and the nearby yet unattainable mulberry and chestnut trees for years。

This endless waiting suddenly assumed such bitter and tedious proportions;

I wanted nothing more than to quit this time。
