The children pressed to each other like so many roses, so many weeds, intermixed,

It rained.
It had been raining for seven years; thousands upon thousands of days compounded and
filled from one end to the other with rain, with the drum and gush of water, with the sweet
crystal fall of showers and the concussion of storms so heavy they were tidal waves come
over the islands. A thousand forests had been crushed under the rain and grown up a
thousand times to be crushed again. And this was the way life was forever on the planet
Venus, and this was the schoolroom of the children of the rocket men and women who had
come to a raining world to set up civilization and live out their lives.
