- Grandfather: [reading from Vaughn] I saw eternity the other night like a great ring of pure and endless light'
- Grandfather: You wrote something that's very comforting
- Vicky: [reading] The universe is part of this one cry In this strange land where all are born to die, Each tree and leaf and star shall have, The universe as part of this one cry. That every life is noted and is cherished, And nothing loved is ever lost or perished.'
- Grandfather: You, you understand.
