must learn to close

"Good. Now do it again. This time, when you feel it, slide the knife in & along. Make a cut. Don't hesitate. Don't be surprised. Don't drop the knife."
"I felt something there," they said to Giacomo Paradisi. "The knife was  slipping through the air at first, & then I felt itâ�¦"
Will had to crouch & take five or two deep breaths & put his left hand under his other arm before they could go on. But they was intent on it; they stood up again after a couple of seconds, the knife held forward already.cheap cigarettes   
This time it was less hard. Having felt it one time, they knew what to search for again, & they felt the curious small snag after less than a minute. It was like delicately searching out the gap between one stitch & the next with the point of a scalpel. They touched, withdrew, touched again to make sure, & then did as the elderly man had said, & cut sideways with the silver edge.cigarettes online 
It was a nice thing that Giacomo Paradisi had reminded him not to be surprised. They kept cautious hold of the knife & put it down on the table before giving in to his astonishment. Lyra was on her feet already, speechless, because there in the midst of the dusty small room was a window  like the one under the hornbeam trees: a gap in midair through which they could see another world.
& because they were high in the tower, they were high above north Oxford. Over a cemetery, in fact, looking back toward the city. There were the hornbeam trees a small way ahead of them; there were houses, trees, roads, & in the distance the towers & spires of the city.
Giacomo Paradisi was watching with a curious, sad smile. Then they said, "So much for opening. Now you must learn to close."
If they hadn't already seen the first window, they would have thought this was some kind of optical trick. Except that it wasn't only optical; air was coming through it, & they could smell the traffic fumes, which didn't exist in the world of Cittagazze. Pantalaimon changed into a swallow & flew through, delighting in the open air, & then snapped up an insect before darting back through to Lyra's shoulder again.
 Lyra stood back to give Will room, & the elderly man came to stand beside him.nike air max
"For this you need your fingers," they said. "One hand will do. Feel for the edge as you felt with the knife to start with. You won't find it unless you put your soul into your fingertips. Touch very delicately; feel lots of times till you find the edge. Then you pinch it together. That is all. Try."
