You can imagine how my curiosity was aroused by this half-confidence about the "other planets." I made a great effort, therefore, to find out more on this subject.
Then he added: "So you, too, come from the sky! Which is your planet"At that moment I caught a gleam of light in the impenetrable mystery of his presence; and I demanded, abruptly: "Do you come from another planet"But he did not reply.

“是的。”我谦逊地答道。
接着,他或许略带伤感地又弥补了一句:“一向朝前走,也不会走出多远……”
