Undid Iridium Quotes & Sayings

The experience of that night, coming so overwhelmingly to a man so dead, almost rent me in pieces.

It was as if the earth under my feet had grasped and rooted me, and were pouring its essence into me. I sat there until the dawn of morning, and all night long my life seemed to be pouring out of me and running into the ground.
