“Göğün karaya ilişeceği yer dolayımda olmalıydı. Herşeyi birbirine karıştırıyordum. Sevgi ile ölümü, özlem ile boşyereliği, bitmişlik ile coşkuyu. Yalnızlığın yalnızca bir sözcük olamayacağını içimde, beynimde besliyordum. Sabahları, gökyüzünün kirli geçmişinde, uzak şimdisinde, olamaz geleceğinde tozlu yollara doluşuyordum. O teciyi arıyordum. Kendimi. Her durgun bakışın, her bulanık gözün eskimiş biliminde sessiz bir sonu algılıyordum. Toprağın simyasında zamanın yavaşlaması vardı. Pineklemesi. Kuşların yırtıcı umutsuzluğu, sonra. Güneş bir bildiri gibi yükseliyordu. Kaçıyordum. Böyle anlarda her sokağın bana çıkmasından korkardım.”

“When she was twenty three years old she met, at a christmas party, a young man from the Erewash Valley. Morel was then twenty-seven years old. He was well-set-up, erect and very smart. He had wavy, black hair that shone again, and a vigorous black beard that had never been shaved. His cheeks were ruddy, and his red moist mouth was noticeable because he laughed so often and so heartily. He had that rare thing, a rich, ringing laugh. Gertrude Coppard had watched him fascinated. He was so full of colour and animation, his voice ran so easily into comic grotesque, he was so ready and so pleasant with everybody... Walter Morel seemed melted away before her. She was to the miner that thing of mystery and fascination, a lady.”
