Башня из слоновой кости

an elephant on the plane roof of a tall cathedral… very close to the edge.
‶climb down his tail, as if it were a rope!
have faith and confidence, belive that he will hold you!″
but the elephant is not anchored in the ground,
yes, he might have the will to remain in position,
perhaps doing everything within his power to hold me,
not to slip and fall himself…
but in my opinion this is hardly enouth.
can this be a question of trust, at all?!?

looking out of the window, while the underground moves down
into the tunnel… — a man, who has alrady passes the elephant-test, says:
‶fear must be conquered, boy!
many of what comes up are merly old fears of death!″

Это башня из слоновой кости. Тоже автопортрет, в определенном смысле.
