Colm Toibin Quotes
I Dreamed Of Setting It Up Out Here In Front Of Where I Am Sitting Now, On The Tripod That I Would Have Ordered Too, And Starting, Taking My Time, To Focus On A Curling Line Of Water, A Piece Of The World Indifferent To The Fact That There Is Language, That There Are Names To Describe Things, And Grammar And Verbs. My Eye, Solitary, Filled With Its Own History, Is Desperate To Evade, Erase, Forget; It Is Watching Now, Watching Fiercely, Like A Scientist Looking For A Cure, Deciding For Some Days To Forget About Words, To Know At Last That The Words For Colours, The Blue-grey-green Of The Sea, The Whiteness Of The Waves, Will Not Work Against Thefullness Of Watching The Rich Chaos They Yield And Carry.
