“Sometimes, when she's out here alone, she can feel the pulse of something bigger, as if all things animate were beating in unison, a glory and a connection that sweeps her out of herself, out of her consciousness, so that nothing has a name, not in Latin, not in English, not in any known language.” IfsFeelsSometimesNamesLanguageConsciousnessKnownGloryAll ThingsConnectionsBiggerLatinPulseUnison Book:When the Killing's Done Source: When the Killing's Done
