Chapter 1:  It was barely dawn when Sally Salt walked across the fields. A dim, gray world still in its nightdream lay all about her. Trees and hills were colorless spaces of shadow, meadows sweeping in every direction were colorless spaces of light; and through the waiting silence of the earth--consciousness wakening, but not yet sentient--the musical, monotonous ripple of the river reached her, unchanging, unhurrying, unresting--timeless. The same today as a million years ago, and the same through tomorrow's million years.    (#00001793)
