01. The warmth of the daytime seemed like a dream now.
02. A weather front was stalled out in the Pacific--like a lonely person, lost in thought, oblivious of time.
03. He would be riding on the subway or writing formulas on the blackboard or having a meal or (as now) sitting and talking to someone across a table, and it would envelop him like a soundless tsunami.
04. You could laugh forever but never end up happy.
