René Magritte Carte Blanche (1965)

"It was then that he saw his mother - or what he would later, in his dreams, call his mother - slipping in and out among the pines on the opposite side of the stream as he had sometimes done in playful moments during their happy summer, making a game of it. Her form appeared and disappeared, multiplied, and then reduced to itself. The moon was a huge ball thrown by her into the sky (...).

As he approached she withdrew behind the cedars and spruce where the thick black erased her." (p. 158)
