Summary:
In a dense series of thoughts, Quentin fantasizes two scenes, one in the distant future and the other in an imagined past: seeing his "murmuring bones" at the day of judgment, and preventing Dalton Ames from ever having been born. The thoughts culminate in another vivid image: how Caddy looked on the day she lost her virginity.
