‘Hardly was it freed from the brown smoke and the mists of the morning than the day turned into a lowering amber afternoon, became for a brief moment transparent, taking the golden colour of ale, only to ascend under the multiple fantastic domes of vast, color-filled nights.’

From ‘Visitation’, a short story by Bruno Schulz, first published in the collection The Street of Crocodiles (1934), based on a 1963 translation by Celina Wieniewska.
