The paper on which they are printed might be seized or burnt, their authors silenced, but somehow their works tend to survive and be reborn from their own ashes after a period of time.

印着它们的纸可以被扣押被烧毁，它们的作者可以被禁言，但它们能够存活下去，经过一段时间，就会在自己的灰烬中重生。

I would rather be burnt and turn to white ashes than suffer darkness to touch me or the unclean to come near me.

我宁愿被烧焦的尸体和转到白色灰，不受到黑暗，或触摸我的人不洁净，走近我。
