She gazed up at the enormous screen. Forty years it had taken her to see herself, reflected darkly, in the smooth opaque slate. O cruel, needless misunderstanding! O stubborn, self-willed exile from the loving light! Two monster-scented tears trickled down the sides of her nose. But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished.
