Geraldine Brooks Quotes

I Reached For Her, Pushing Back The Fall Of Hair-it Was Heavy And Thick And Smooth To The Touch-and Tilted Her Chin So That The Moonlight Shone On Her Wet Face.
We Married Each Other That Night, There On A Bed Of Fallen Pine Needles-even Today, The Scent Of Pitch-pine Stirs Me-with Henry's Distant Flute For A Wedding March And The Arching White Birch Boughs For Our Basilica. At First, She Quivered Like An Aspen, And I Was Ashamed At My Lack Of Continence, Yet I Could Not Let Go Of Her. I Felt Like Peleus On The Beach, Clinging To Thetis, Only To Find That, Suddenly, It Was She Who Held Me; That Same Furnace In Her Nature That Had Flared Up In Anger Blazed Again, In Passion.
