He stepped down, avoiding any long look at her as one avoids long looks at the sun, but seeing her as one sees the sun, without looking.

Summary

This quote describes a situation where someone voluntarily removes themselves from a particular situation or relationship by stepping down. The person tries to avoid direct contact with another individual, almost as if they were avoiding looking directly at the sun. However, even though they do not give this person a long look, they still see and recognize their presence, similar to how we can perceive the sun's presence without directly looking at it.
