David Malouf Quotes

Only Slowly, After Long Watching, Did He Begin To Distinguish The Small Signs That Made Them Trackable: The Ball Of Gristle In The Corner Of A Man's Cheek, Which You Could Actually Hear The Soft Click Of If You Listened For It; The Swelling Of The Wormlike Vein In A Man's Temple Just Below The Hairline, The Tightening Of The Crow's Feet Round His Eyes, The Almost Imperceptible Flicker Of Pinkish, Naked Lids; A Deepening Of The Hollow Above A Man's Collarbone As His Throat Muscles Tenses, And Some Word He Was Holding Back, Because It Was Unspeakable, Went Up And Down There, A Lump Of Something He Could Neither Swallow Nor Cough Up.He Saw These Things Now, And What Astonished Him Was How Much They Gave Away.
