Clive Barker Quotes

The Bare Bulb In The Middle Of The Room Dimmed And Brightened, Brightened And Dimmed Again. It Had Taken On The Rhythm Of The Bell, Burning Its Hottest On Each Chime. In The Troughs Between The Chimes The Darkness In The Room Became Utter; It Was As If The World He Had Occupied For Twenty-nine Years Had Ceased To Exist. Then The Bell Would Sound Again, And The Bulb Burn So Strongly It Might Never Have Faltered, And For A Few Precious Seconds He Was Standing In A Familiar Place, With A Door That Led Out And Down And Into The Street, And A Window Through Which-had He But The Will (or Strength) To Tear The Blinds Back-he Might Glimpse A Rumor Of Morning.
