“I kept as still as I could. Nothing happened. I did not expect anything to happen. I was something that lay under the sun and felt it, like the pumpkins, and I did not want to be anything more.

At any rate, that is happiness; to be dissolved into something complete and great.”-Willa Cather, My Ántonia -- source link
