The silver trump of freedom had roused my soul to eternal
wakefulness. Freedom now appeared, to disappear no
more forever. It was heard in every sound, and seen in
every thing. It was ever present to torment me with a sense
of my wretched condition. I saw nothing without seeing it, I
heard nothing without hearing it, and felt nothing without
feeling it. It looked from every star, it smiled in every calm,
breathed in every wind, and moved in every storm.

the significance of the title, "the passing", is related to the fact that the main characters, who are three african-american descendant women, are passing as white. this means that, because of their light-coloured skins they look like white women. one of the three friends, clare, is married to a white man and she lives in a white community and she has never told her husband that she is black. the title can easily be connected to the idea of pretending to be someone you are not and of losing your real identity in order to be accepted by society.
