She had seen it done. Wherever they glittered in the afterlife — flying among the high rafters of heaven, swimming with her mother in an undersea cave — she hoped the tigers had known it, and roared.

About This Quote

As you grow older, you are likely to see more of the world than when you were younger. You will have lived longer, so you will see people who are older than you, and they will have seen more of the world as well. The things that people experienced during their lives is part of the reason they are who they are now. "She saw it done" is what allows people to see themselves in others.

They see themselves in the things that people have done, because those things are similar to what they have experienced in their lives. This idea is important because it helps us understand each other better. It helps us feel understood because people can understand what you have gone through or what has touched your life.
