„… and the god had as many eyes as leaves were in the woods in springtime and his wings were as nimble and sharp as the arrows of the hunters. And the god was flying along with the wind and the clouds and saw everything from the high above. And when men fell into sin, thinking no one would know, the god, seeing them felt grief and cried for the first time with all his eyes. From his tears rain was born.“ (excerpt from an unwritten novel)
