" ... audible only by virtue of accidental bits of sound-debris that may
happen to be caught at the eddying, voices far away out at the sea OUR
POSITION IS TWO SEVEN DEGREES TWO SIX MINUTES NORTH, a woman crying in
some high-pitched language, ocean waves in gale winds, a voice reciting

raked through the unarmed Indians at Wounded Knee ..." (GR, pp. 696-7)
