“Jenkins tried to say goodbye, but he could not say goodbye. If he could only weep, he thought, but robots could not weep.”
“They say that at the mountain pass he looked back at his kingdom, his beautiful kingdom, and wept, and his mother told him to weep like a woman for what he could not hold as a man.”
“He threw on a cardigan and some track pants and tried to say a goodbye that meant come back again.”
“now he sensed that she was saying goodbye to him”
“I never thought it would end like this. I never thought he would leave me without saying goodbye.”
“Goodbye, goodbye!There was so much to love, I could not love it all;I could not love it enough.”
