Figure descriptions
A woman’s spirit ascends out of an open window and into the sky. She reaches her right
arm up toward the moon and carries a
flaming heart in her left hand. The sun’s rays are visible through her translucent
body. Dishes, a kettle, and other remnants of
domestic life are visible through her departed window. The tops of buildings and balconies
are visible below. On one balcony, there
is a potted plant. There are stars and clouds in the sky, and a bat flies over the
settlement. 2/3-page illustration contained
within a single-ruled border.
