“Have you noticed my fir?' asked the professor. Jessica emerging from the sparse and anonymous forests of her imaginings, misunderstood him. Fur? Was he speaking of his own body hair? Was he perhaps a werewolf? Or was he drawing attention to some unappreciated mink, ocelot or garment of beaver?
". . . planted it years ago,' he was saying. 'Whipped off the tinsel and the gewgaws, stuck it in the garden and now it's nearly sixty feet tall.'
Ah, though Jessica, reassured - a fir. She could identify Christmas trees.”

“Ero spossato. Tutte le folli passioni contrastanti si erano esaurite e mi avevano lasciato esausto e vuoto. Sano di mente.
Ero stanco di quella gente. Detestavo tutto di loro, il riso e le lacrime, l’adulazione e l’invidia, la vanità e gli inganni. E odiavo quel posto.
Odiavo le montagne e le colline, i fiumi e la pioggia. Odiavo i suoi tramonti qualunque colore avessero, odiavo la sua bellezza e la sua magia e il segreto che non avrei mai conosciuto. Odiavo la sua indifferenza e la crudeltà che faceva parte del suo incanto.
Soprattutto odiavo lei. Perché lei apparteneva a quella magia e a quell’incanto. Mi aveva lasciato assetato e tutta la mia vita sarebbe stata sete e desiderio di ciò che avevo perduto prima ancora di
trovarlo.”
