Kindle Notes & Highlights
A blade of grass snaps, a bug is stepped on, a flame goes out, a person dies—it’s nothing!
He feels as if time were coming to a halt. Something has changed: the wind is still whispering, and the leaves are still moving, and the donkey’s stomach is growling, but all this has nothing to do with time. Earlier was now, and now is now, and in the future, when everything is different and when there are different people and no one but God knows about him and Agneta and Claus and the mill anymore, then it will still be now.
