M.M. Kaye, Raj-dwelling Englishwoman who wrote, inter alia, The Far Pavilions, remembers in her autobiography the lost kingdom of places in her Indian childhood where she found pure silence, before automobiles and airplanes, before motorized appliances everywhere man lives or goes. She remembers the small pop of moonflower blossoms opening in the dark.
