"A classic illustration on the transience of Thel's life. At left, a glimpse of the world before she was born: vacant, but teeming with possibility. At center, there is Thel: always looking out for the hope she once knew, staring into the middle distance in the thrall of melancholy.

Dolly, pedantic as ever, yells I'm wearing my rubbers! I'm wearing my rubbers! and then PJ, thinking only, How I hate that ponytailed tormenter of my soul! Lastly, at right, the mortal reminder of the future Thel will find in death, a broken clock reading 7:47 (prefiguring Thel's death in a plane crash) sitting in pure blackness, its motionlessness the measure of eternity."Sarco Fuggus and the Ratbastard
