Anthony Doerr Quotes

Impossibly, The Static Coalesces Into Music. Volkheimer's Eyes Open As Wide As They Can. Straining The Blackness For Every Stray Photon. A Single Piano Runs Up Scales. Then Back Down. He Listens To The Notes And The Silences Between Them, And Then Finds Himself Leading Horses Through A Forest At Dawn, Trudging Through Snow Behind His Great-grandfather, Who Walks With A Saw Draped Over His Huge Shoulders, The Snow Squeaking Beneath Boots And Hooves, All The Trees Above Them Whispering And Creaking. They Reach The Edge Of A Frozen Pond, Where A Pine Grows As Tall As A Cathedral. His Great-grandfather Goes To His Knees Like A Penitent, Fits The Saw Into A Groove In The Bark, And Begins To Cut.
