Magnificent, thank you for sharing. She found the essence of that encounter; a tiny bead of pure life in a futile yet valiant struggle.

"What he could do he did. Watching him, it seemed as if a fibre, very thin but pure, of the enormous energy of the world had been thrust into his frail and diminutive body. As often as he crossed the pane, I could fancy that a thread of vital light became visible. He was little or nothing but life."
