“I could hear my heart beating. I could hear everyone's heart. I could hear the human noise we sat there making, not one of us moving, not even when the room went dark.”

“Unlike the adults, the children didn’t have to pretend. They were full of praise for the umbrella. It was so light, so pretty, so bright a blue! And it was just the right size for Binya. They knew that if they said nice things about the umbrella, Binya would smile and give it to them to hold for a little while—just a very little while! Soon”

“It was
the time between the lights when colours undergo their intensification
and purples and golds burn in window-panes like the
beat of an excitable heart; when for some reason the beauty of
the world revealed and yet soon to perish (here I pushed into
the garden, for, unwisely, the door was left open and no
beadles seemed about), the beauty of the world which is so
soon to perish, has two edges, one of laughter, one of anguish,
cutting the heart asunder.”
