After Dark
"'You'll never get away', Takahashi says aloud while looking at the crescent moon."
*
"The new day is almost here, but the old onw is still dragging its heavy skirts. Just as the ocean water and the river water struggle against each other at a river mouth, the old time and the new time clash and blend. Takahashi is unable to tell fot sure which side —which world— contains his center of gravity."
*
"The brightness outside the window is increasing with great speed. Vivid streaks of light stream into the room through gaps in the shade. The old temporality is losing its effectiveness and moving into the background. Many people go un mumbling old words, but in the light of the newly revealed sun, the meanings of words are shifting rapidly and are being revealed. Even suposing that most of the new meanings are temporary things that will persist only through sundown that day, we will be spendng time and moving forward with them."
