“Our respect for the dead, when they are just dead, is something wonderful, and the way we show it more wonderful still.

“He rose and turned toward the lights of town. The tidepools bright as smelterpots among the dark rocks where the phosphorescent seacrabs clambered back. Passing through the salt grass he looked back. The horse had not moved. A ship's light winked in the swells. The colt stood against the horse with its head down and the horse was watching, out there past men's knowing, where the stars are drowning and whales ferry their vast souls through the black and seamless sea.” MenSoulLightPastStarsBlackDarkKnowingSeaRocksHorseTownsDown AndMovedRosePassingPassingsShipsGrassSaltDrowningWhalesPassing ThroughSeamlessFerryColts Author:Cormac McCarthy
