We shan't meet again.

Thank you.

She's here, isn't she?

She's here.

It takes a remarkably short time

to withdraw from the world.

I traveled...

until I arrived

at a life of my own.

What really makes us

is beyond grasping.

It's way beyond knowing.

We give in to love...

because it gives us some sense

of what is unknowable.

Nothing else matters,

not at the end.

I saw her once more only.

I saw her by accident

at an airport, changing planes.

She didn't see me.

She was with Peter.

She was holding a child.

She was no different

from anyone else.
