It is hope and faith. But it passes over the significance of the moment; of parting information technology says zilch. Information technology hides its emotion. Information technology says likewise little. While Adept-by ('God be with you') and Adios say also much. They endeavor to span the distance, most to deny it. Expert-by is a prayer, a ringing cry. 'You must not go - I cannot comport to have yous go! But you shall not go alone, unwatched. God volition be with you lot. God'due south hand volition over you lot' and even - underneath, hidden, just it is there, incorrigible - 'I will be with you; I will watch you - always.' It is a mother's good-by.

All emotion, smoldering, is banked up behind information technology. But information technology says zero. It is really the unspoken expert-by, the pressure of a hand, 'Sayonara."
