“But with Katrina – was it romantic when you instinctively knew someone’s very existence fascinated you, made you grateful? Finding it romantic would be missing the point, like valuing the sun because it was bright. I’m glad for the light, but really, I’m grateful for the fact it sustains life on Earth. Not that Katrina sustains my life on Earth. I – No. Inelegant metaphor. It’s over with Katrina.”
