Quote #10
"He going to last. He wear a little patch-quilt and peep out, holding his mouth open like a little bird. I remembers so plain now. I not going to forget him again, no, the whole enduring time. I could tell him from all the others in creation." (91)
The wording here connects both Phoenix and her grandson to immortality with phrases like "the whole enduring time" and "in creation." This second phrase even reminds us of the creation, like at the beginning of the Bible when the world was first made. Going back all the way to the start of time is a surefire way to raise the issue of transcending the boundaries of time.
