"The sun broke through the clouds then its brilliant golden disk burning
a hole through the great puffs of water vapor to send a shaft of golden
light zigzagging down through the layers of atmosphere and warm the
earth in a way that no sunlight since the beginning of time had ever
warmed the earth before. Somewhere a child was being born. Somewhere a
dog was barking. Life was going on but in this one moment at this
particular place in time and space. The two beautiful women, one
twisting her hair into knots, the other sittings sideways, were not part
of it. They were here only for each other and for the memory of a great
man who had walked the earth like a rock in the sand. Life is like that
sometimes, thought Margaret helplessly."
