“...to know her, or anyone, one must seek out the people who completed them; even the places. Odd affinities she had with people she had never spoken to, some woman in the street, some man behind a counter – even trees, or barns. It ended in a transcendental theory which, with her horror of death, allowed her to believe, or say that she believed (for all her scepticism), that since our apparitions, the part of us which appears, are so momentary compared with the other, the unseen part of us, which spreads wide, the unseen might survive, be recovered somehow attached to this person or that, or even haunting certain places, after death. Perhaps – perhaps.”

“Arriba en el cielo, las golondrinas trazaban lazos, volaban haciendo curvas y quiebros, se precipitaban de un lado a otro, giraban y giraban, pero siempre con perfecto dominio, como si estuvieran sostenidas por elásticos; y las moscas que subían y bajaban, el sol tocando ahora una hoja, otra después, burlón, deslumbrándola con oro suave en un gesto de buen humor; y de vez en cuando una campana (pudiera ser la bocina de un coche), resonando divinamente en las briznas de hierba... Todo esto, aun siendo tranquilo y razonable, aun estando constituido por cosas ordinarias, era ahora la verdad; la belleza, eso era la verdad. La belleza estaba en todas partes.”
