Salman Rushdie Quotes

Water Began To Drip Steadily Through The Dormer Window. Outside, In The Treacherous City, A Thaw Had Come, Giving The Streets The Unreliable Consistency Of Wet Cardboard. Slow Masses Of Whiteness Slid From Sloping, Grey-slate Roofs. The Footprints Of Delivery Vans Corrugated The Slush. First Light; And The Dawn Chorus Began, Chattering Of Road-drills, Chirrup Of Burglar Alarms, Trumpeting Of Wheeled Creatures Clashing At Corners, The Deep Whirr Of A Large Olive-green Garbage Eater, Screaming Radio-voices From A Wooden Painter's Cradle Clinging To The Upper Storey Of A Free House, Roar Of The Great Wakening Juggernauts Rushing Awesomely Down This Long But Narrow Pathway. From Beneath The Earth Came Tremors Denoting The Passage Of Huge Subterranean Worms That Devoured And Regurgitated Human Beings, And From The Skies The Thrum Of Choppers And The Screech Of Higher, Gleaming Birds.
