You’ve read it, I suppose—it seems that in times of geological upheaval, millions of years ago, and right there, on the oldest of all continents, the waters receded, and some ancestors of today’s fish found themselves on dry land. Some died, but others managed to adapt; little by little, their gills developed into lungs, their fins became wings, and gradually they transformed into birds. I’ve often thought that something like this must have happened to me, […] One evening, I saw myself in the mirror and discovered that I was a bird, a kind of bird of paradise. I started flying like mad. I had managed to break free from the muddy waters where so many others like me spent their lives; I had escaped the laws of the earth—not that this didn’t have its dangers, because it did, and to a certain extent I liked them. But I had no desire whatsoever to get mixed up with the police…
