“The night is quiet. Like a camp before battle. The city beset by a thing unknown and will it come from forest or sea? The murengers have walled the pale, the gates are shut, but lo the thing's inside and can you guess his shape? Where he's kept or what's the counter of his face? Is he a weaver, bloody shuttle shot through a time warp, a carder of souls from the world's nap? Or a hunter with hounds or do bone horses draw his dead cart through the streets and does he call his trade to each? Dear friend he is not to be dwelt upon for it is by just such wise that he's invited in” WorldDoeSoulFacesNightCitiesWiseSeaStreetsBattleShapesQuietDrawsShotsHorseTradeDearBonesForestsGatesCampsPaleBloodyHuntersInvitedNapsCartsDear FriendHoundsWarpWeavers Book:Suttree Source: Suttree

“She followed the pleasure where it led. She had no weight, no name, no thoughts, no history. Then came a burst of phosphorescence, as though a firework had discharged behind her eyes, and it was over. She felt quiet and warm. For the first conscious moment of her life, her mind was free from wonder, free from worry, free from work or puzzlement. Then, from the middle of that marvelous furred stillness, a thought took shape, took hold, took over. I shall have to do this again.” MindFirstsMomentsEyeNamesFeltPleasureBehindsWonderWorryMiddleShapesQuietConsciousWeightWarmStillnessMarvelousHer EyesFireworks Book:The Signature of All Things Source: The Signature of All Things
