I grasped that it would take a while for the keep to grasp with all that had happened. But there was something there, a feeling almost of relief. I had seen that before in a man who had had his maimed foot removed, or the family that finally finds their drowned child's body. To finally confront the worst there is, to look at it squarely in the face and say, "I know you. You have hurt me, almost to death, but still, I live, and I will go on living.
