Character: the boatman

- We're already dead? asked the boatman will.
"Never mind," he replied. - Some come here and not believing that he died. All the way saying that they are alive, it's a mistake and someone will have to pay for it; but to what end? But there are other poor souls who have long dreamed of dying, as were leading lives of misery and suffering, they killed themselves, hoping for a blessed rest, and found that things only changed for the worse, and out at this time there: after all, to come back to life is impossible. And there are those sick and fragile newborn babies, for example, that, hardly having been born, they immediately go to the dead. I many, many times sailed here, holding on his knees a tiny crying baby that did not notice the difference between the upper world and the lower. And the old rich are the worst, they swear and curse me, screaming and scandals: who I am! Don't they got their hands on all the gold he could reach? So why don't I get you some and deliver them back to shore? They will put me on the court, they have powerful friends, they are familiar with the Pope, with the king like that, they'll have me severely punished... But these brawlers in the end they realize their true position: they are now in my boat, on the way to the land of the dead, and that dad with the kings, and they are here in their turn, sooner than they would like. I don't prevent them to rage: to me they damage can't and sooner or later cease.
So if you don't know died or not, but this girl swears that you come back to live, I'm not going to contradict you. Soon you will see who you really are.
