In this passage, Edna hears the voices of her sister, Margaret, and her father. She also heard the sound of a chained up dog barking, the “spurs” of a police officer, and nature, specifically the humming of the bees. The relationship between the makers/sources of these sounds, such as the “sycamore tree,”and the “musky odor,” and the direction in which she gazes, brings memories of home and humble times to Edna’s mind. By appealing to her senses, the sounds warm her heart and it is evident that as Edna is looking into the distance, she realizes she will miss these sounds, rather than just recalling them as “terror[s].”
