13. La clepsydre… On s’amusait donc de la candeur et de la naïveté d’un tel questionnement, ainsi que de la nature des correspondances bien inutiles que cet homme établissait entre les êtres, les mots et les choses. De la fabrique des chanfreins, à celle des dentelles les plus fines, de la connaissance du calendrier lunaire, à la pratique du bouzkashi, de l’usage de la clepsydre à celui du koto, pas un aspect de ce foisonnement ne semblait échapper à sa collecte.
WIVIWIC:
28. An immediate turnaround took place… As is the case with all groups, an immediate turnaround took place. A kind of new-found elation spread among the spirits, including those of the most resistant clan.
WIVIWIC:
25. Not without exceptional gravity… Had it not been for the serenity of the head of the council, this audience would no doubt have broken up in the noise and bustle. Nevertheless, he obtained immediate silence: “So be it!” he began, not without exceptional gravity, “you find yourself ‘unable’ to receive immortality, and the reasons for this prohibition are your own…
WIVIWIC:
21. Offer you immortality… This is why, after deliberation by the council, and with the unanimous agreement of its members, we have decided to offer you immortality and thus keep you among us.” At these words, only the warrior clan, although previously involved in the decision, expressed real discontent.
WIVIWIC:
23. All agreed… All agreed on the wisdom of this statement, and the assembly was one in its awareness. Congratulations were already in the air, always lavish when welcoming a new member. The visitor continued, however: “Such an honor makes it all the more difficult for me to tell you how impossible it is for me to accept such a gift.”
WIVIWIC:
30. The craftsmen had been happy to tell him… The stranger had visited this factory some time ago, and the craftsmen had been happy to tell him all about the object produced there. The thread in question was used to weave passions, to tie up loves, and sometimes to reveal lovers’ plots.
WIVIWIC:
31. The thread was invisible… The thread was invisible and infinitely stretchable, and only a mechanism of optical keys, adjusted like glasses, allowed its wearer to observe it.
WIVIWIC:
35. Among them was the God of war… Among them was the God of war, all haloed by his victory over common sense, for man had once again proved his lightness, preferring the game of feelings to immortality! The visitor addressed him first. “God of war, could you tell us the nature of the ‘asjinc horn’?” asked the visitor abruptly.
WIVIWIC:
36. What metal it was… The question was somewhat puzzling, and the god found it rather mocking and inappropriate. After all, nobody knew what the “asjinc” horn was, and he himself didn’t know what it sounded like, looked like, or what metal it was! At this point, the visitor took out a set of optical keys, similar to those used to reveal the presence of the love thread.
WIVIWIC:
37. To invite him to his childish games… Then he asked the God of war to use the keychain to inform everyone of the nature of the asjinc horn. The warrior god’s irritation must have reached its peak at this point, for it was not appropriate to invite him to his childish games! He steadfastly refused!
