lives. We may touch divinity--it is a question in each case. The possibility is

Notes
1. Cavell discussed this point about overwhelming suggestiveness and almost being
stopped by the weight of it in a lecture on Now, Voyager at the Boston Museum of
Fine Arts in the winter of 1988, and I have heard him discuss the point on other
occasions in other connections. Most of the thoughts on Now, Voyager were worked
up into Cavell essay "Ugly Duckling, Funny Butterfly: Bette Davis and Now, Voyager,"
Critical Inquiry 16, no. 2 (Winter 1990).
2. I would like to thank filmmaker Ross McElwee for calling my attention to the
danger of staging and filming the scene with the infant in the water.
