„Cool poolsfrom a tired landsink nowin the peace of eveningClouds weakenand die.The sun, an orange skull,whispers quietly, becomes anisland, & is gone. There they arewatchingus everythingwill be dark.The light changed.We were awareknee-deep in the fluttering airas the ships move ontrains in their wake.“

„It takes the average human seven minutes to go to sleep, but according to Hand's Human Physiology, it takes the same average human fifteen to twenty minutes to wake up. It is as if sleep is a pool from which emerging is more difficult than entering. When the sleeper wakes, he or she comes up by degrees, from deep sleep to light sleep to what is sometimes called "waking sleep," a state in which the sleeper can hear sounds and will even respond to questions without being aware of it later…except perhaps as fragments of dreams.“

„Hannah, can you hear me? Wherever you are, look up, Hannah. The clouds are lifting. The sun is breaking through. We are coming out of the darkness into the light.“
