Narator Quotes:

  • Narator: [reading from Dashiell's book] In the last paragraph Dashiell quoted from Gustave Flaubert's The Sentimental Education, "In every parting there comes a moment when the beloved is already gone from us."

  • Narator: At that moment... the same unspoken thought occurred to everyone: "He was the first to go blind. Perhaps... we will all regain our sight in turn." So the celebration was not entirely selfless. The next days, the next weeks... would therefore be sleepless with anticipation. They would see again. This time, they would really see. But who would be so timid... as to cling to this blanket of blindness? Who would be so foolish as to fear... that its intimacies might be lost? And what of this woman... who is now so strangely silent... who has borne such a terrible weight... and is now so suddenly free? Already she could imagine the voices of the city, shouting: "I can see!" "I'm going blind", she thought.
