About
Snippet
For
the
first
time
in
a
long
time
I
thought
about
Maman.
I
felt
as
if
I
understood
why
at
the
end
of
her
life
she
had
taken
a
"fiance,"
why
she
had
played
at
beginning
again.
Even
there,
in
that
home
where
lives
were
fading
out,
evening
was
a
kind
of
wistful
respite.
So
close
to
death,
Maman
must
have
felt
free
then
and
ready
to
live
it
all
again.
Nobody,
nobody
had
the
right
to
cry
over
her.
And
I
felt
ready
to
live
it
all
again
too.
The replay is still saving.
