But I appealed unto thy heart in vain, and now is the time gone for meeting.”

but it was connected
by string, something I was holding,

bring back.”

“In taking a side, I thought uneasily, perhaps I ought to take the long view, the survival of the species as a whole. That was my problem, I thought, I was always thinking at the level of the individual, in this case the rabbit, the grim scene unfolding before me in the garden as the kite pecked at the belly of the poor beast, initiating a gyration in the corpse or almost corpse of the poor rabbit, a kind of organy wobbling. Now what was that that reminded me of? A hanging, tremulous, a doorway and a tidy garden. What happened to one’s past when one got beyond it?”

“Sadie was still a kite.
"You can turn back now," I told her.
She tilted her head and regarded me quizically. She let out a frustrated croak.
I cracked a smile. "You can't, can you? You're stuck?
She pecked my hand with her extremely sharp beak.
"Ow!" I complained. "It's not my fault. Keep trying."
She closed her eyes and ruffled her feathers until she looked like she was going to explode, but she stayed a kite.
"Don't worry," I said, trying to keep a straight face. "Bast will help once we get out of here.”

“It was as big as a box kite and mounted on a pole, gesticulating wildly with moving arms, vanes, wheels, and propellers larger and small. I'd never seen it. It was all different colors. It didn't resemble anything in particular, except at the top, where there was a woman's head. Attached to her hair were three reflectors. Shells and chimes hung around her neck. Even with half the moving parts stuck, a gust blowing through it set off a flurry of fluttering and shimmering and ringing, as if a flock of exotic birds was taking flight.”
