Addio, Dann. Addio, piccolo signor Rail, che mi hai insegnato la vita. Avevi ragione tu: non siamo morti. Non è possibile morire vicino a te. Perfino Mormy ha aspettato che tu fossi lontano per farlo. Adesso sono io che vado lontano. E non sarà vicino a te che morirò. Addio, mio piccolo signore, che sognavi i treni e sapevi dov'era l'infinito. Tutto quel che c'era io l'ho visto, guardando te. E sono stata ovunque, stando con te. È una cosa che non riuscirò a spiegare mai a nessuno. Ma è così. Me la porterò dietro, e sarà il mio segreto più bello. Addio, Dann. Non pensarmi mai, se non ridendo. Addio. . Alessandro Baricco
About This Quote

"Goodbye Dann, Goodbye Rail, who taught me the lives. You were right: we are not dead. It is impossible to die near to you. Even Mormy waited for you to leave.

Now I go away and will not be close to you who will die. Goodbye my small lord, who dreamed of the trains and knew where the infinite was. Everything that was me I saw it, watching you.

And I was everywhere, standing next to you. It is a thing that I will never explain to anyone else but it is like that. I will take it behind and it will be my greatest secret.

Goodbye Dann. Don't think about me, unless laughing."
