“Aisling tumbled out, his gold eyes going wild about the room to take in all of them. His beak clicked as he worked it in silence. Then, as the breaking of ice may bring a cascade of water from winter’s falls, the griffin’s voice—no longer that small shrill copy of Taryn’s, but his own true voice—poured plaintively from him. “Mom!”
Taryn jerked around, her mouth dropping open.
Aisling bounded toward her and she swept him up into a tight embrace. He clutched at her shoulders with his talons, burying his head under her chin, and cried, “Mom! Yoo…rrrrr…oh…kay!”

“Yoo…rrrr…Ai-sing,” whispered the griffin. His raptor’s eyes flicked to Antilles and his naked wings fluttered. “Tilly. Yoo…rrrr…sun-shy?”
Taryn giggled, her face pressed to fur.
“Aye, lad,” Antilles said, tossing his broken horn. “My sun and my moon and all my starry skies.”

“Així l'oda més vella la volia—
De la sang bruta de les fulles noves del roser roig
i els garrofers
Que es balmen flor cendra a la negra gerra dels cors
Al març encara espera
I a la més tendra mà la nit que hi vessa
I la desclosa
La passió dels suïcides que es maten sense explicar-se.”

“Així s’expressa el temps, sense cap llei
d’impietat, i és bo saber-ho i dir-ho
per assajar de viure amb els sentits
i els sentiments en perpètua vigília.
Mirar la vida cara a cara és un
recomanable i prudent exercici
d’humilitat, una activa i discreta
conspiració que ens apropa a aquell nucli
tan oblidat de nosaltres mateixos
en què a vegades és dur descobrir-se.
Créixer també és saber que la tristesa
i fins i tot l’afront no són, per sort,
exclusiva dels vils, sinó un grotesc
patrimoni de tots, i que pels ulls
dels marginats, dels pobres, dels vençuts,
se’ns en va a tots plegats el goig de viure
harmoniosament i amb alegria.”
“Aiya Earendil Elenion Ancalima!”

He watched in open-mouthed admiration as her fists rained down on Holden’s face. This fleshy boy transforming into a snotty-nosed, crying lump of flesh was the same one who’d bloodied AJ’s nose a week ago. She’s taking him, AJ realized.”
“Aj nuk kthehej prej Kuvendit të burravet. Mortja ia hoq shpatën prej doret kur po e ngjeshte e kur po e shtrengote radhët. Kalat e Arbënit, metun pa zot,u shumne,e votrat e Arbënit u shkretuene. Mi germadhat e kalavet e mi votrat e shkretueme plehnuene jeniçert e sulltanit,e prej plehit të tyne bine ferra e hitha,çi e mbuluene Arbënin e bukur të Motit të Madh.

“Ajatella, jos ei koskaan voisi tulla iloiseksi tai pettyä, mietti isä veneen kiitäessä läpi myrskyn. Ei koskaan voisi pitää kenestäkään, eikä suuttua eikä antaa anteeksi.

“Ajatus jäi sanomatta. Menneet olivat menneitã, turha niillä oli itseään vaivata. Nainen oli kuitenkin mukautuva kappale, joka asettui sille paikalle joka hänelle annettin. Hän venyi ja taipui ja muokkautui vaimoksi ja äidiksikin, kasvoi sielusta, sisältä, joka puolelta. Hän antoi myöten kuin rannan paju mutta oli myös yhtä sitkeä. Hän versoi ja kasvoi ja kurottui sellaiseen, johon hänen ei uskottu yltävän, täytti vaaditut roolit ja ylitti ne. Sitä paitsi anteeksianto oli vaikeaa, mutta hän oli onnistunut siinä.”
