Nicholas Christopher Quotes

They Were Different Colors: The Right One Blue, The Left Green. And Her Face In The Light Of The Candle On The Table Startled Me At First, Just As It Had In The Icy Night Air. After Seeing It On The Street, I Was Afraid I Had Only Imagined It: A Still, Luminous Face With A Silvery Sheen. Finely Hewn, With A Long, Straight Nose And A Wide Mouth, It Was Nearly Identical To Another Face, Which I Had Photographed Years Before. Not On A Person, Bu On The Fragment Of A Frieze I Found In Some Ruins Near Verona, The Frieze, Which Depicted A Band Of Musicians, Had Once Been Shadowed Beneath A Cornice High On The Temple Of Mercury, God Of Magic. Belonging To One Of The Musicians, It Was A Riveting Face - Like A Puzzle That Could Not Be Solved - Which I Had Never Found, Or Expected To Find, On A Living Woman.
