Watching her, he was assailed again by an awareness of the evident and essential separateness of all people. Here were two persons, so close that their bodies touched, each conscious of the other’s presence, each in his private way solicitous of the other, each striving to pierce the other’s shell to find an inner reality, each trying to make the other’s egress into his or her own particular shell as easy as possible— and each failing miserably in every attempt.
It was a strange battle where one could not even succeed in bringing about his own defeat.
So partly out of pity for himself and partly out of pity for her, he raised himself up from his slumped position and put one arm about her shoulder, cradled her clumsily and tenderly to him. With a small grateful sigh, she buried her head in the sharp angle between his shoulder and neck. Her warm moist breath crept daintily on his skin. He was aware of the pleasant odor of her hair, the cool feel of her dress under his hand, the suggestion of warm, clinging flesh under that material. A faint twinge of pleasure returned to him. Resolutely, he grasped at that weak twinge, nursed it in him, protected it from ravenous thought.
The city lights were flashing less frequently. The street where they now traveled was darker; and, being darker, was more than ever like a limitless tunnel. There was nothing he could see outside to define the width of their passage; darkness began at the windows of the vehicle and stretched endlessly out. The night was a solid mass through which they ploughed recklessly.
