for Ed and Jenny

"Numb with satisfaction, I fled with my cart of instruments from that

gleaming sphere and emerged into a street suddenly cold and dark. Night

had come with winter's swiftness; it was almost the ninth hour, and almost

time for me to Watch once more."

Robert Silverberg: "Nightwings"

"A strange emptiness swept over me. I had given the alarm; the invaders

were on their way; I had lost my occupation. There was no need of Watchers

now. Almost lovingly I touched the worn cart that had been my companion

for so many years. I ran my fingers over its stained and pitted instruments;

and then I looked away, abandoning it, and went down the dark streets

cartless, burdenless, a man whose life had found and lost meaning in the

same instant. And about me raged chaos."
