It extended on into infinity, and through its golden depths his soul went questing after hers.
In the silence that followed, the low, half-sobbing whine was heard at the door and then the long, questing sniff.
His black eyes roved everywhere, catching the movements of twigs and branches where small birds hopped, questing ever onward through the changing vistas of trees and brush, and returning always to the clumps of undergrowth on either side.
