Anthony Doerr Quotes

The Dinner Bell Rings, And Everyone Trots Off, Frederick Coming In Last With His Taffy-colored Hair And Wounded Eyes, Bootlaces Trailing. Werner Washes Frederick's Mess Tin For Him; He Shares Homework Answers, Shoe Polish, Sweets From Dr. Hauptmann; They Run Next To Each Other During Field Exercises. A Brass Pin Weighs Lightly On Each Of Their Lapels; One Hundred And Fourteen Hobnailed Boots Spark Against Pebbles On The Trail. The Castle With Its Towers And Battlements Looms Below Them Like Some Misty Vision Of Foregone Glory. Werner's Blood Gallops Through His Ventricles, His Thoughts On Hauptmann's Transceiver, On Solder, Fuses, Batteries, Antennas; His Boot And Frederick's Touch The Ground At The Exact Same Moment.
