Long Shadows Quotes

• You can't anticipate history. It's only when you look back you see what the Romans did, and what various other empires did, what the British Empire did. We're now beginning to see the long shadow that it created, so one must be hopeful and say that what's going on in Asia, that what's going on in the Middle East, that all these various areas of conflict, that they will pass and move onto another area. But it would seem that the natural order of things is there is this cyclic behavior of destruction followed by a calm period.

• Al atardecer, caminé solo hasta el lago, junto al parque Crow, después de la puesta de sol, y vi cómo se acercaba el solemne colorido de la noche, cómo se desvanecía el último destello de sol en las cumbres de las colinas, cómo se filtraban serenos los ásteres y se proyectaban sobre ellos las largas sombras de las montañas, hasta casi tocar la orilla más lejana. A lo lejos se oye el murmullo de muchas cascadas que no se oyen de día. Deseé ver la luna, pero estaba oscura para mí y silenciosa, escondida en su vacía cueva interlunar.

  Thomas Gray

Estha has his and Rahel hers. Edges, Borders, Boundaries, Brinks and Limits have appeared like a team of trolls on their separate horizons. Short creatures with long shadows, patrolling the Blurry End. Gentle half-moons have gathered under their eyes and they are as old as Ammu was when she died.
