Thomas Pynchon Quotes
He Stands Before A Door That Will Not Open
wood Sometimes, Iron, But Always The Same Door, Set Into A Well, Maybe In The Anonymous Middle Of Some City Block, Unattended, No One In Control Of Who Enters And Who Can't, A Blank Door Hardly Different From The Wall It Is Set Into, Silent, Insert, No Handle Or Knob, No Lock Or Keyhole, Fitting So Tightly Into Its Wall That Not Even A Knifeblade Can Be Slipped Between Them ... He Could Wait Across The Street, Keep Vigil All Night And Day And Night Again, Praying Though Not In The Usual Way, Exactly, For The Unmarked Hour When At Last The Quality Of Shadow At The Edge Of The Door Might Slowly Begin To Change, The Geometry Deepen And Shift, The Unasked-for As That, The Route To Some So-far-undreamable Interior Lie Open, A Way In Whose Way Back Out Lies Too Far Ahead In The Dream To Worry About
