About flying snakes. Bologna and anatomical theatre (№ 434715)

One cannot die without moments of acute intoxication with happiness. Intoxication is so acute that it's like a heart attack. But without such moments one cannot die, because one cannot live without them. And no one should ever crunch the bones of a being who at least once in his life had an acute intoxication with happiness. Because this poison, like mercury, can no longer be removed from the body by anything. And no matter what happens to you, no matter what nasty things happen to you, your bones already contain the metal of happiness.
