“I really like you, Midori. A lot.”
“How much is a lot?”
“Like a spring bear,” I said.
“A spring bear?” Midori looked up again. “What’s that all about? A spring bear.”
“You’re walking through a field all by yourself one day in spring, and this sweet little bear cub with velvet fur and shiny little eyes comes walking along. And he says to you, “Hi, there, little lady. Want to tumble with me?’ So you and the bear cub spend the whole day in each other’s arms, tumbling down this clover-covered hill. Nice, huh?”
“Yeah. Really nice.”
“That’s how much I like you.”

“Бард въздиша, хвърля поглед наляво, взира се в открития океан, дълбок и тъмен, но не мисли изобщо за края на света и вечния мраз, а за една тъмна дълга коса, разпиляна пред лицето – спомен от началото на януари, когато най-прекрасната ръка на света я отмести; тя се казва Сигрид, нещо потрепва в Бард, когато произнася името наум. Момчето следва погледа на своя приятел и също въздиша. Иска да постигне нещо в този живот – да научи език, да види света, да прочете хиляда книги; иска да се добере до същността, каквато и да е тя; иска да открие дали въобще има някаква същност – но понякога мисленето и четенето е непосилно, ако човек е изнурен от тежко гребане, прогизнал и премръзнал след дванайсет часа в открито море, тогава мислите така натежават, че човек едва ги повдига, тогава същността е далеч.”
