Quote of the Day
"It's a great
comfort," he said at last, "to see the sun come up and go down. When
I dwelt in the cave, when I was in prison, it gave me hope, to see the light
come and go, and know that the world went about its business."
He was looking out the window, toward the blue distance where the sky darkened toward infinity. His throat moved a little as he swallowed.
"It gives me the same feeling, Sassenach," he said, "to hear ye rustling about in your surgery, rattling things and swearin' to yourself." He turned his head, then, to look at me, and his eyes held the depths of the coming night.
"If ye were no longer there—or somewhere—" he said very softly, "then the sun would no longer come up or go down."
