Whales live in families, they play in the moonlight, they talk to one another, and they care for one another in distress. They are awesome and mysterious.

• There were times when it appeared to Dorian Gray that the whole of history was merely the record of his own life, not as he had lived it in act and circumstand, but as his imagination had created it for him, as it had been in his brain and in his passions. He felt that he had known them all, those strange terrible figures that had passed across the stage of the world and made sin so marvellous, and evil so full of subtlety. It seemed to him that in some mysterious way their lives had been his own.

The loss of home became one loss, and the golden time in the West was one dream.
