'...For the first time Ren was aware of sympathy, not as an impulse or as a need within himself, but as a genuine human contact. Illil had told him nothing, but he knew what ailed her, body and spirit, not through clairvoyance of love or pity, but in the full poignancy of imagination. In this intensification of living, everything in his mind, the day's crisis, the ferment of ideas, awareness of himself as a social being, the semblance of the future, were all illuminated. Two figures on a hillside dwarfed by lonely distance, life simplified to a moment.'
