[1051] And who those others whose
designs are so different?[1052] And into whose hands
I play when I ask such things.[1053] But do I?
[1054] In my jar did I ask myself questions?
[1055] And in the arena?[1056] I dwindled.[1057] I dwindle.
[1058] Not so long ago, with a kind of shrink of my
shoulders and head, as when one is scolded,
I could disappear.
[1061] And I have
only to let my head fall forward against the
wall to be sure that the light from above,
which at night is that of the moon, will
not be reflected in there either, in those pretty
little blue mirrors, I used to look at myself
in them, to please them.[1062] Wrong, wrong,
this effort and this trouble will not be spared me.
