Mervyn Peake Quotes

Behind Him She Saw Something Which By Contrast With The Alien Incalculable Figure Before Her, Was Close And Real. It Was Something Which She Understood, Something Which She Could Never Do Without, Or Be Without, For It Seemed As Though It Were Her Own Self, Her Own Body, At Which She Gazed And Which Lay So Intimately Upon The Skyline. Gormenghast. The Long, Notched Outline Of Her Home. It Was Now His Background. It Was A Screen Of Walls And Towers Pocked With Windows. He Stood Against It, An Intruder, Imposing Himself So Vividly, So Solidly, Against Her World, His Head Overtopping The Loftiest Of Its Towers.
