“When the first faint glow of dawn crept into the cave Moon-Watcher saw that his father had died in the night. He did not know the Old One was his father, for such a relationship was utterly beyond his understanding, but as he looked at the emaciated body he felt a dim disquiet that was the ancestor of sadness” — Arthur C. Clarke
