What it says
Forty years yesterday. We were in Ephraim, at the Linden Gable, room 6.
Yesterday morning R. said he wanted to walk out on the pier before breakfast. He does not walk before breakfast; he drinks coffee and reads the box scores. He had a small box in his jacket pocket and had evidently had it there since Madison, because the corner of the pocket had gone shiny from his thumb.
It is a sapphire, an oval one, very deep blue, with small diamonds all the way round. He bought it a week ago Saturday at Hartwig & Daughters and paid with the travel card so that I would not see it on the statement, which I open the day it comes, as he knows.
He said, "I looked at a lot of them. This one was the right blue." Then he said, "Forty years," and then he had finished, and he put it on my right hand, because the left is taken. I did not say anything sensible.
Today we drove home, and at one o'clock we stopped at a wayside south of Sturgeon Bay with forty strangers and one pair of cardboard glasses between us, to watch the sun go to a crescent. R. explained the geometry to a child who had not asked. The light went thin and coppery and the birds stopped.
