چکیده
He watched her drift away, drift with her pink face warm, smoothas an apple, unwrinkled and colorful. She chimed her laugh at everyjoke, she tossed salads neatly, never once pausing for breath. And thebony son and curved daughters were brilliantly witty, like theirfather, telling of the long years and their secret life, while theirfather nodded proudly to each.(“The Long Years”, Martian Chronicles, Ray Brad‐ bury)On the next day, John saw Jesus coming toward him,and so he said: “Behold, the Lamb of God.
