Mervyn Peake Quotes
The Road Was Wet With Rain, Black And Shiny Like Oilskin. The Reflection Of The Street Lamps Wallowed Like Yellow Jelly-fish. A Bus Was Approaching - A Bus To Piccadilly, A Bus To The Never-never Land - A Bus To Death Or Glory.
I Found Neither. I Found Something Which Haunts Me Still.
The Great Bus Swayed As It Sped. The Black Street Gleamed. Through The Window A Hundred Faces Fluttered By As Though The Leaves Of A Dark Book Were Being Flicked Over. And I Sat There, With A Sixpenny Ticket In My Hand. What Was I Doing! Where Was I Going?
("Same Time, Same Place")
