I stand watching her until she fades on the horizon and someone on my side says ... she is gone. Gone where? The loss of sight is in me, not in her. Just at the moment when someone says: she is gone. There are others who are watching her coming. Their voices take up the glad shout: Here she comes!" (a quote from Henry Holland).
