3. when one is riding across the azim steppes on a fast horse, and one experiences a most singular sensation; as the endless grasslands, herds of sheep and gers clustered around oases pass by in a blur, the sky seems so large and limitless one cannot escape the feeling of falling up into it, higher and higher, ever heavensward. the first time i set out from reunion, i was utterly unprepared for the hugeness of the open country that lay in every direction. it was a moving experience.

4. a woman's laugh when she finds a witticism particularly pleasing.
