Mervyn Peake Quotes

Swelter's Eyes Meet Those Of His Enemy, And Never Has There Held Between Four Globes Of Gristle So Sinister A Hell Of Hatred. Had The Flesh, The Fibres, And The Bones Of The Chef And Those Of Mr Flay Been Conjured Away And Away Down That Dark Corridor Leaving Only Their Four Eyes Suspended In Mid-air Outside The Earl's Door, Then, Surely, They Must Have Reddened To The Hue Of Mars, Reddened And Smouldered, And At Last Broken Into Flame, So Intense Was Their Hatred - Broken Into Flame And Circled About One Another In Ever-narrowing Gyres And In Swifter And Yet Swifter Flight Until, Merged Into One Sizzling Globe Of Ire They Must Surely Have Fled, The Four In One, Leaving A Trail Of Blood Behind Them In The Cold Grey Air Of The Corridor, Until, Screaming As They Fly Beneath Innumerable Arches And Down The Endless Passageways Of Gormenghast, They Found Their Eyeless Bodies Once Again, And Reentrenched Themselves In Startled Sockets.
