Mervyn Peake Quotes

But There Were Also Times When She Cried Out In The Darkness Biting Her Lips - Cried Out Against The Substance Of Her Age: For It Was Now That She Should Be Young; Now Above All Other Times, With The Wisdom In Her, The Wisdom That Was Frittered Away In Her 'teens', Set Aside In Her Twenties, Now, Lying There, Palpable And With Forty Summers Gone. She Clenched Her Hands Together. What Good Was Wisdom; What Good Was Anything When The Fawn Is Fled From The Grove?
