"I was driving down the mountain, the curves were bad, I wasn't going slow, the day was one of those that takes your breath away... On hilltops, I made believe I'd take off into the absolute, but as I swerved again and again... and as the sun's autumnal, soporific light shone on... something gave in me and I let go— this driving need to make it all mean more. In time, I turned the wheel back to the road."
