"All this he saw, for one moment breathless and intense, vivid on the morning sky; and still, as he looked, he lived; and still, as he lived, he wondered."

    A me piace abbastanza, anche se la mia preferita resta Tempesta.

In basso, il matrimonio e la morte, con la spalla di Scott che continua perfettamente nella schiena di Scott stesso.
