Lily King Quotes

Who Can Explain Why A Few Words In A Particular Tone Can Clear Acres Of Sudden Unfamiliarity? ...Would That Person Look Up And Grin, And Find Him Grinning Back, Full Of The Sweet Miraculous Relief Of Having Been Perfectly Received? ...He Was Saying, If It's Not Carrots, It's Something Else; He Was Saying, How Futile Life Is, The Slicing Of Carrots, The Eating Of Meals; He Was Saying, How Wonderful Life Is, To Come Home To The Security Of Carrots In The Kitchen; He Was Saying, Another Day Come To Its Devastating Close. He Was Saying All This And I Heard Him Because He Was Like Me, Entirely Ambivalent About Life. It Was Almost A Question: Should I Be Full Of Joy Or Despair, Rosie? Joy, My Face Always Replied To Him, Not Because I Felt Sure That Was The Answer, But Because I'd Begun To Want To Make It His.
