# May the day on which I was born perish, the night

"I wish that I had never been born". The ULB sets the lines of this chapter farther to the right on the page than the rest of the text because it is a poem. 

# the night that said, 'A boy has been conceived.'

"the night that said, 'A boy has been conceived' perish."

# the night that said

"the night on which people said"

# A boy has been conceived

"his mother has conceived a male child"
