Bloodied Quotes

“Inside the carriage, Cardan slumps. I stare at him, at the blood drying in tide lines over his body and crusting in his curls like tiny garnets. I force myself to look out the window instead. 'How long have I-' he hesitates. 'Not even three days,' I tell him. 'Barely any time at all.' I do not mention how long it has seemed. Nor do I say how he might have been trapped as a serpent for all time, bridled and bound. Or dead.”

“And then I yet again find myself standing before the very thing that has relentlessly pummeled me, staring through a bloodied brow realizing that my most heroic efforts have utterly failed to bring this thing to an ‘end.’ And at those most hopeless of moments where I stand before a monster I cannot slay, it would behoove me to finally accept the reality that the ‘beginning of the end’ is only possible when I ‘begin’ to surrender that thing to God and ‘end’ my feeble attempts to slay it on my own.”
