Something Wicked This Way Comes · 1962
His wife smiled in her sleep. Why? She's immortal. She has a son.
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
A woman sleeps smiling, and the answer given is that she is immortal because she has a son. The line treats a child as a way of living on: a mother's life carries forward in someone else, so death loses some of its finality.
