"Would it have made any sense whatsoever if I had said that the woman
in my novel would have one day actually gotten more accustomed to a
world without any people in it than she ever could have gotten to a
world without such a thing as 'The Descent from the Cross', by Rogier
van der Weyden, by the way?
Or without the 'Iliad'? Or Antonio Vivaldi?
I was just asking, really.
As a matter of fact it was at least seven or eight weeks ago, when I asked that.
It now being early November, at a guess.
Let me think.
Yes."
