Craig Childs Quotes
The Elk That You Glimpse In The Summer, Those At The Forest Edge, Are Survivors Of Winter, Only The Strongest. You See One Just Before Dusk That Summer, Standing At The Perimeter Of The Meadow So It Can Step Back To The Forest And Vanish. You Can't Help Imagining The Still, Frozen Nights Behind It, So Cold That The Slightest Motion Is Monumental. I Have Found Their Bodies, Half Drifted Over In Snow, No Sign Of Animal Attack Or Injury. Just Toppled Over One Night With Ice Working Into Their Lungs. You Wouldn't Want To Stand Outside For More Than A Few Minutes In That Kind Of Weather. If You Lived Through Only One Of Those Winters The Way This Elk Has, You Would Write Books About It. You Would Become A Shaman. You Would Be Forever Changed. That Elk From The Winter Stands There On The Summer Evening, Watching From Beside The Forest. It Keeps Its Story To Itself.
