Tim Winton Quotes
Summer Came Whirling Out Of The Night And Stuck Fast. One Morning Late In November Everybody Got Up At Cloudstreet And Saw The White Heat Washing In Through The Windows. The Wild Oats And Buffalo Grass Were Brown And Crisp. The Sky Was The Color Of Kerosene. The Air Was Thin And Volatile. Smoke Rolled Along The Tracks As Men Began To Burn Off On The Embankment. Birds Cut Singing Down To A Few Necessary Phrases, And Beneath Them In The Streets, The Tar Began To Bubble. The City Was Full Of Yank Soldiers; The Trams Were Crammed To Standing With Them. The River Sucked Up The Sky And Went Flat And Glittery Right Down The Middle Of The Place And People Went To It In Boats And Britches And Barebacked. Where The River Met The Sea, The Beaches Ran North And South, White And Broad As Highways In A Dream, And Men And Babies Stood In The Surf While Gulls Hung In The Haze Above, Casting Shadows On The Immodest Backs Of The Oilslicked Women.
