"It was almost, said Adamson, as though the possibilities of the world had streamed through Girl and the giraffe: and he, a hunched-over primate in the bushes, had been the dumb one, with his insistent frustration at that which he could not easily fathom, his restless, churning efforts to achieve knowledge. Being a primate he watched; being a primate he was separate forever. The two of them opened up beyond all he know of their natures, suspended: they were fluid in time and space, and between them flowed the utter acceptance of both their deaths.
They had been together, said Adamson, closer than he had ever been to anyone. They had given, they had given; they had shimmered with spirit.
Spirits, thought the German, glancing at the luminous dial of his watch: yes indeed."

I think this week I will be Girl and Giraffe.
