Striking & Powerful Quote: "Haruko left a tiny laughing brass Buddha up high, in a corner of the attic, where he is still laughing to this day"(p109).
Word-Image: "The shelves are empty. The floors, neatly swept. The Japanese are gone"(p116).
Sound-Image: "In their backyards the tulips are wilting. Stray cats wander. Last load of laundry still cling to the line. In one of their kitchen – Emi Saito’s – a black telephone rings and rings" (p115).
Haiku: Your recreation To miss me in apathy Smashes my pathos.
