Summary

This quote suggests that change is inevitable and that periods of peace will always be interrupted by disturbances caused by the return of evil individuals. Instead of being saddened by these recurring events, one should view them as opportunities for awareness, recognizing the reality of the world. By doing so, one can find happiness in the interim periods between disturbances. It emphasizes the importance of accepting and understanding the cyclical nature of life and not letting temporary setbacks overshadow overall feelings of contentment.

She died on a windy gray day in March when the sky was full of darting crows and the world lay prostrate and defeated after winter. Peter Lake was at her side and it ruined him forever. It broke him as he had not ever imagined he could have been broken. He would never again be young, or able to remember what it was like to be young.
