Childan
bowed
.
"
These
persons
,
"
Paul
said
,
"
laughed
.
"
Childan
was
silent

"
Yet
I
,
too
,
laughed
behind
my
hand
,
invisible
to
you
,
"
Paul
said
,
"
the
other
day
when
you
appeared
and
showed
me
this
thing
.
Naturally
to
protect
your
sangfroid
,
I
concealed
that
amusement
;
as
you
no
doubt
recall
,
I
remained
more
or
less
noncommittal
in
my
apparent
reaction
.
"
Childan
nodded
.
Studying
the
pin
,
Paul
went
on
.
"
One
can
easily
understand
this
reaction
.
Here
is
a
piece
of
metal
which
has
been
melted
until
it
has
become
shapeless
.
It
represents
nothing
.
Nor
does
it
have
design
,
of
any
intentional
sort
.
It
is
merely
amorphous
.
One
might
say
,
it
is
mere
content
,
deprived
of
form
.
"
Childan
nodded
.

"
Yet
,
"
Paul
said
,
"
I
have
for
several
days
now
inspected
it
,
and
for
no
logical
reason
I
feel
a
certain
emotional
fondness
.
Why
is
that
?
I
may
ask
.
I
do
not
even
now
project
into
this
blob
,
as
in
psychological
German
tests
,
my
own
psyche
.
I
still
see
no
shapes
or
forms
.
But
it
somehow
partakes
of
Tao
.
You
see
?
"
He
motioned
Childan
over
.
"
It
is
balanced
.
The
forces
within
this
piece
are
stabilized
.
At
rest
.
So
to
speak
,
this
object
has
made
its
peace
with
the
universe
.
It
has
separated
from
it
and
hence
has
managed
to
come
to
homeostasis
.
"
Childan
nodded
,
studied
the
piece
.
But
Paul
had
lost
him
.
"
It
does
not
have
wabi
,
"
Paul
said
,
"
nor
could
it
ever
.
But
"
He
touched
the
pin
with
his
nail
.
"
Robert
,
this
object
has
wu
.
