Frøken Aemelin, nesten alt det som folk gjør mot hverandre, betyr som handling betraktet svært lite. Det som er avgjørende, er deres formål, hvor de vil hen, hva de vil ha tak i.

... 'I've been doing everything for an awfully long time, and I've seen and lived as hard as I could, and it's been unbelievable, I tell you, unbelievable. But now I have the feeling everything's gliding away from me, and I don't remember, and I don't care, and yet now is right when I need it!'. [pp. 84-85]

Now everything was changed. She walked about with cautious, anxious steps, staring constantly at the ground, on the lookout for things that crept and crawled. Bushes were dangerous, and so were sea grass and rain water. There were little animals everywhere.

Grandmother tried to discuss this with her, to no avail. Irrational terror is so hard to deal with. [p. 136]

Пролетта идваше, но не както той си я бе представял през зимата. Не идваше като онази, дето щеше да го освободи от някакъв чужд и враждебен свят, а като естествено продължение на едно ново изживяване, което той надмогна и си присвои.

Изведнъж усети такава радост, че му се дощя да остане сам. Запъти се бавно към бараката за дърва.

I want your first trip to be with me. I want to show you cities and landscapes and teach you how to look at things in new ways and how to get along in places you don't already know inside out. I want to put some life in you...
