Quote
Deep down inside her in fact is an animal gnawing away with its pointed teeth, and she has it shut away in a little box; but already she can see its fang through the fragile wall. So she quickly puts the box inside a slightly larger one, but the animal keeps gnawing away and so she goes and fetches a carton and then a bigger one and then a bigger one still, and every time she has the same childish feeling of happiness and the same sensation of staring into an abyss when fear rubs up against her.
Stig Dagerman, The Snake (trans. Laurie Thompson)
