• One of my many horrors is to become the man with the frayed jacket and unfastened flies standing at the Co-op counter with egg on his shirt and more too because the mirror in the hall has given up the ghost.

• Necesito música que fluya sobre las yemas de mis dedos inquietos y sensibles, sobre mis labios amargados y temblorosos, con una melodía profunda, clara y líquida. Oh, por el vaivén curativo, viejo y bajo, de alguna canción cantada para descansar a los muertos cansados, ¡Una canción que caiga como agua sobre mi cabeza, y sobre los miembros temblorosos, el sueño sonrojado resplandezca! Hay una magia hecha por la melodía: Un hechizo de descanso, y respiración tranquila, y el corazón fresco, que se hunde a través de los colores que se desvanecen profundamente A la quietud subacuática del mar, Y flota para siempre en un estanque verde luna, Sostenido en los brazos del ritmo y del sueño.

• La puerta del vestíbulo se abre a una mañana de junio tan fina y limpia que Classira se detiene en el umbral como lo haría al borde de una piscina, observando el agua turquesa que baña las baldosas, las redes líquidas del sol que se agitan en las profundidades azules. Como si estuviera al borde de una piscina, retrasa un momento la zambullida, la rápida membrana de frío, el simple choque de la inmersión.

• ...wordless conditioning is crude and wholesale; cannot bring home the finer distinctions, cannot inculcate the more complex courses of behavior. For that there must be words, but words without reason... Not so much like drops of water, though water, it is true, can wear holes in the hardest granite; rather, drops of liquid sealing-wax, drops that adhere, encrust, incorporate themselves with what they fall on, till finally the rock is all one scarlet blob.

  Aldous Huxley

• Una repentina ráfaga de lluvia sopló sobre ellos y luego otra, como si pequeñas nubes líquidas rebotaran por la tierra. Los relámpagos entraron en el mar a lo lejos y el aire se llenó de truenos crepitantes. Los manteles volaron alrededor de los pilares. Soplaban y soplaban y soplaban. Las banderas se enroscaban alrededor de las sillas rojas como seres vivos, los estandartes se hacían jirones, las esquinas de la mesa se desgarraban a través de las burbujeantes puntas ondulantes de los manteles.

• I touched the combination lock. I concentrated so hard I felt like I was dead-lifting five hundred pounds. My pulse quickening. A line of sweat trickled down my nose. Finally I felt gears turning. Metal groaned, tumblers clicked, and the bolts popped back. Carefully avoiding the handle, I pried open the door with my fingertips and extracted an unbroken vial of green liquid. Hal exhaled. Thalia kissed me on the cheek, which she probably shouldn't haven't done while I was holding a tube of deadly poison. "You are so good," she said. Did that make the risk worth? Yeah, pretty much.
