Quotes by Richard Yaxley (?)

“The breeze moved metronomically, like breath. Noah, looking out to the sea and sky, saw a boat sliding along the horizon. He watched its delicate progress and hoped that the boat would one day find its home, that it would not roll throughout time between this world and the next.”
― Richard Yaxley, Harmony
