“This was her, Mick Kelly, walking in the daytime and by herself at night. In the hot sun and in the dark with all the plans and feelings. This music was her—the real plain her...This music did not take a long time or a short time. It did not have anything to do with time going by at all.

Now that it was over there was only her heart beating like a rabbit and this terrible hurt.”
― Carson McCullers, The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter
