Answer 2

It creates a sense of timelessness is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Way to Rainy Mountain was written by N. Scott Momaday, who was also the winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1969; he is also considered one of the main figures in Native American Renaissance. It tells a part of Momaday's ancestor.

In the excerpt, the phrase in quotes is used to create a sense of timelessness. This idea is reinforced by the next sentence, where the object whose actions are being described seems "beyond reach of time." To finish the paragraph, the speaker mentions that he knew it was an illusion (the sense of timelessness) and that he might not see her again.
