Paul sat down where Hawat had been, straightened the papers. One more day here, he thought. He looked around the room. We're leaving. The idea of departure was suddenly more real to him than it had ever been before. He recalled another thing the old woman had said about a world being the sum of many things-the people, the dirt, the growing things, the moons, the tides, the suns-the unknown sum called nature, a vague summation without any sense of the now. And he wondered: What is the now?
