Summary
In a far future where humanity is gone and the Earth is covered by water, Willie is one of the museum guardians left to tend a preserved human relic. He sneaks into a hall and takes a pair of spectacles from the glass case, then looks through them from a window over the sea. The lenses seem to reveal visions of human life and longing, but a mother-model robot arrives and orders him to put them back, insisting that their kind was made to obey rather than understand.
