• Aniara. Akt 1. sc 3 (6)

Sandon catches sight of the stone-mute deaf man.
The mute deaf man. Pantomime.

(…But the words choke in Sandon's throat when he catches sight of two ghost-like forms, seemingly materialized by Mima: the Stone-Mute Deaf Man and the Blind Man. The deaf mute relates his experience in pantomimic mute language. The Mimarobe comments on the deaf mute's testimony from Dorisburg)

DEAF MAN'S MESSAGE IN PANTOMIME:
The worst sound I've ever heard, though I heard it not.
Yes, just when the eardrums were burst asunder,
the last sound, like a murmur of mournful reeds
when the phototurb consumed Dorisburg.
Though I heard it not.
My ear was not fast enough
when the soul was atomized
when the body was pulverized
when six square miles of town were glutted
twisted inside out
when the phototurb gutted
the great city that was once Dorisburg.

THE MIMAROBE:
Thus the deaf one, though mute, did speak.
And it is so that stones would lament,
thus spoke the dead in a stone.
He cried out from the stone: can you hear, me?
He cried out from the stone: do you not hear?
I come from the city of Dorisburg.

The blind man enters.

THE BLIND MAN:
The ghastly intensity of the glare!
It was blinding.
Who could describe it!?
I'll mention only one detail: I saw it with my neck.
My whole scalp became an eyeball
that was blinded beyond the bursting point,
lifted off and swept away in blind trust
in the sleep of extinction. But there was no sleep.
