Quote #4
"Yes, Daughter, the time is come," Toby answered. "Go, as you know how to go!" (17)
Finally, the time for transformation has come. It seems like Toby is the only one who actually remembers that they could once fly, though, since he's the only one who can remind them of the power they once had.
Quote #5
The young woman lifted one foot on the air. Then the other. […] Then she felt the magic, the African mystery. Say she rose just as free as a bird. (19)
In a sense, this transformation is really just Sarah remembering her peoples' past. In the real world, Africans (and others) who were captured into slavery were prevented from practicing their culture and traditions and even speaking their native languages.
Quote #6
No one dared speak about it. Couldn't believe it. But it was, because they that was there saw that it was. (20)
Frankly, if we saw somebody mutter a magic word and fly away, we'd need a second to digest things, too. Regardless, this must be a powerful moment for them—one of their own has just fulfilled their dream.
