My loathing wrestles with the slow twilights. But night comes and starts to sing to me.”
“How you must have suffered getting accustomed to me, my savage, solitary soul, my name that sends them all running. So many times we have seen the morning star burn, kissing our eyes, and over our heads the grey light unwinds in turning fans.”
