There are times when it seems to me that the earth has not only stopped spinning but also turning around the sun, and suddenly I am orbiting where it belongs in space. I get dizzy and nauseous but then I take a deep breath and it all goes away.
¹ When everything stops, or seems to stop; I keep moving, otherwise I risk dying from boredom or from inertia.
² Quando tutto si ferma, o sembra fermarsi; continuo a muovermi,
altrimenti rischio di morire di noia o di inerzia.
