“The fact of it is nothing to do with seeing it happen—it’s not gasps and blood and falling about—that isn’t what makes it death. It’s just a man failing to reappear, that’s all—now you see him, now you don’t, that’s the only thing that’s real: here one minute and gone the next and never coming back—an exist, unobtrusive and unannounced, a disappearance gathering weight as it goes on, until, finally, it is heavy with death.”
