Eph"He hears Salamano's plaintive cry, "like a flower growing out of the silence and darkness"; somehow this bleak cry is seen as something fragrant and positive. Out of the negative, something good is still possible, a key idea that will inform the novel's conclusion and is heralded as well at the end of chapter four."
