Note sull'episodio
Good morning, citizens. Today: abroad they are lifting an enormous eye above the clouds to look outward at light so old that the things which sent it are no longer there, which makes me glad for a sun that is simply here. Abroad, a nation's breakfast has been written onto a list of things the world has agreed to protect forever — and you do not write a thing down unless you are afraid it might go. The Recreation League's fixtures went exactly as published, attendance at Gratitude Hour was everyone, and then the mailbag: two hundred and eleven letters with the same blot of ink in the same corner, a road that keeps going on an old map, and one line with no name on it that hopes somebody is making sure I eat. Everything is already wonderful.
