"And She Wondered Why Everything In The World Was A Reminder;Why Passing Through A Doorway Brought Motherly

"And she wondered why everything in the world was a reminder; Why passing through a doorway brought motherly warmth Enveloping all in an embrace, whispering softly, 'Come here, my child, come here.'"

"We reached the beach in the late afternoon. The tide was high and the surf was heavy. I dived in and rode a couple of waves, but they had reached that stage of power in which you feel the whole strength of the ocean in them."

"The ocean looked dead too, dead gray waves hissing mordantly along the beach, which was gray and dead-looking itself."

John Knowles, "A Separate Peace"

"And she thought home might not be a place or a human but a life, An emotion. She saw it in the lights of an empty theatre, In the floorboards of a creaky stage and the hills made of lights and shadows, sharp as knives. She dreamt in dimmers, in light cues gently coming up like sunrises of brilliant red and blue and deep purple; In sound cues and the quiet 'go!' followed by the thunder of a blooming flower."
