We might remember this story primarily for its claustrophobic ending but that would be a mistake. Old Kormt wants to remain one with the Earth but realizes too late that he has cut himself off from mankind when everyone but him has migrated to the Galactic centre. That is how the story ends but, before that, there is a great deal of description and reflection that bears rereading except that I will be going out to a meeting shortly.
We have to bypass The Peregrine because my copy is packed for moving but it has been discussed a lot before. See here.
