We loiter in winter while it is already spring."

One day surely the wars would end, and Jim would come home, if only to lie broken in MacMurrough's arms, he would come to his island home.

22. "The rain began to fall harder, and it distracted him, but he tried to pull himself back because he felt on the verge of understanding something large and important.

It seemed instead to be the thing for which he must daily give up his life, an act of submission to something he could not name and only rarely, in moments such as these, have a sense of. Life during these moments seemed neither lost nor ruined but a power to be shared, as the grass shares its power with the living things that devour it."
