The girl in the courtyard, no older than eight, tries to lift the flat stone by herself. It does not move. She steps back, studies the edges, then lifts with both hands and a small cry—it shifts a finger’s width. The stone does not yield; but the girl’s face yields nothing. The canal reflects this: a hand struggling against the weight of air.
