David Malouf Quotes
It Was A Flame In The Boy, This Power He Had Acquired Over The World They Moved In. He Gave Up Being Contemptuous, Since He Was The One Now Who "knew Things", Assumed An Easy, Masculine Air That He Had Picked Up By Imitation From His Elders, And Was So Good At It That It Looked Like Nature. And What Of Me? She Thought. I Am As Brave As He Is. I Could Do All That. Being In Possession Now Of So Many Skills, And The Code That Went With Them And Belonged To Men, He Had Put Himself Beyond Reach. And She Was Stille, If Only By An Inch Now, The Taller!
She Resented Bitterly The Provision His Being A Boy Had Made For Him To Exert Himself And Act. He Had No Need To Fret Or Bother Himself; Only To Be Patient And Let Himself Grow And Fill Out The Lines Of What Had Been Laid Up For Him.
