Along the tier a hundred thieves argued in sleep with unseen turnkeys: the unseen pokies of all thieves' dreams who stride, jangling the special keys to each thief's private nightmare, down all the lonely corridors of despair.
In den Zellen schliefen die Diebe und stritten sich im Schlaf mit unsichtbaren Schließern, die auf den einsamen Korridoren der Verzweiflung mit dem Schlüsselbund rasselten und die Musik machten zum Alptraum jedes einzelnen.
