"They looked at each other for a long moment, and in that moment all was as it used to be. It was as if they had never parted. But she did not offer to go into the darkness with him, and he did not ask her."

I know people, I know towns, farms, hills and rivers and rocks, I know how the sun at sunset in autumn falls on the side of a certain plowland in the hills; but what is the sense of giving a boundary to all that, of giving it a name and ceasing to love where the name ceases to apply? [...] Insofar as I love life, I love the hills of the Domain of Estre, but that sort of love does not have a boundary-line of hate.

Beyond that, I am ignorant, I hope.

The Left Hand of Darkness, Ursula K Le Guin

The state preceptor sat unmoving next to Jun Wu. “Your Highness, all of you should go now.”

He clearly didn’t intend to get up.

“Master, are you not coming?” Xie Lian asked.

The state preceptor shook his head. “I’ll keep His Highness company. After all, I didn’t stay by his side back then.”

The rain was coming down harder now. It scoured Jun Wu’s resting face, washing away the blood that flowed from his wounds. As it poured across his skin, Xie Lian thought that the three lesions on his face had faded somewhat. Maybe it was his imagination. --- TGCF, chapter 130
