"Hujan mulai turun. Aku bisa mendengarnya, di beton di luar dan di gedung tua di atasku. Itu berderit dan bergoyang di badai musim semi dan angin, kayu lembut melentur, cukup bijak dengan usia untuk memberi sedikit, daripada melakukan perlawanan keras kepala sampai mereka pecah. Saya mungkin bisa belajar sesuatu dari situ."

Rain was coming down in sheets. I could hear it, on the concrete outside and on the old building above me. It creaked and swayed in the spring thunderstorm and the wind, timbers gently flexing, wise enough with age to give a little, rather than put up stubborn resistance until they broke. I could probably stand to learn something from that.
