OK, here is the next quote:

"It is an essence of all the things you will ever feel or see or hear in your life again, being brought steadily home to you all at once."

Two clue-quotes:

"The essential impact of life's loneliness crushes your beginning-to-tremble body."

&

"The crickets keep thier truce, the stars are so low you can almost brush the tinsel."

Final clues, and then will name story in a couple of days:

The story was originally written in second-person declarative, its a Greentown story restructured and bridged in DANDELION WINE. Bradbury has remarked that its a true story, it really happened.

"Ice cream lives again in your throat, stomach, spine and limbs; you are instantly cold as a wind out of December-gone."

Sounds like "The Lonely One" to me.

Well, no. However, when Bradbury rewrote this into DANDELION WINE, the Lonely One is mentioned.

You're absolutely right, Linnl. It is the night...3am to be precise and I need some shut-eye.

Here's my quote:
'And now, before it was too late, she simply had to visit a totally unknown person for the most peculiar reasons in all her life, or, for that matter, in the life of all mothers in the world since civilisation began."
