Deutsche Übersetzung

Die gesamte Asylkleidung wird von den Patienten angefertigt, aber das Nähen beschäftigt den Geist nicht. Nach mehrmonatiger Gefangenschaft geraten die Gedanken der geschäftigen Welt in Ohnmacht und alles, was die armen Gefangenen tun können, ist, über ihr hoffnungsloses Schicksal nachzudenken.
