William Boyd Quotes
Sitting In This Small Pub With Its Cool Flagged Floor, Listening To The Murmuring Voices Of The Haymakers And The Click Of Dominoes Falling, Drinking Beer Here In The Midle Of Summer In England In 1914, He Suddenly Felt A Stillness Creep Up On Him As If He Were Suffering From A Form Of Mental Palsy
As If Time Had Stopped And The World's Turning, Also. It Was A Strange Sensation
That He Would Be For Ever Stuck In This Late June Day In 1914 Like A Fly In Amber
The Past As Irrelevant To Him As The Future. A Perfect Statis; The Most Alluring Inertia.
