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
