The interesting thing, in the photograph, was how the fragile little knock - kneed boy - smiling sweetly, pristine in his sailor suit - was also the old man who'd clasped my hand while he was dying: two separate frames, superimposed upon each other, of the same soul.

It was a riddle expanding out and out and out.
