“When you look at the hills
beyond the houses and
beyond the trees where the
earth touches the sky, that’s
the horizon. Tomorrow in the
daytime I’ll show you
something. The closer you
get to that line, the farther it
moves. If you walk toward
it, it moves away. It flees
from you. I must also explain
this to you. You see the line.
You see it, but it doesn’t
exist.”
