Barry Pomeroy Quotes

In A Moment A World Will Lose Its Focus And Become A Different Place. They Say That Blind People Have Been Struck By Their Affliction Without Warning, And That Helen Keller Found Language And Light In A Word. For Me, I Suddenly Knew, Viscerally At Least, A Number Of Things About My Town That I'd Only Ever Suspected. The Dog Was A Girl. The Dog Was A Native Girl. I Dug Her Out Of The Snow With More Care Than I'd Ever Lifted A Porcupine Or A Snapping Rat, And Feeling That She Was Still Somewhat Warm, That Her Wrappings Of Rags Had Protected Her From The Cold Of A Manitoba Winter, I Placed My Jacket Around Her And Covered Her Head With My Hat. Then I Set A Pace Back To The Farm That Left A Taste Of Blood In My Mouth, Freezing My Lungs By Running At Minus Thirty.
