“Tenderness fills her. Here it is, the moon that has followed her everywhere through her childhood ... Here is the moon—dear, distant companion—yet now intimately near and patient.”

“How horribly easy it is, he thinks now, breathing hard, watching the light retreat down the lane, to go from good to bad, from the dream to the memory, from what we want to all we've ever had.”
― Carrie Brown, Lamb in Love

“But now it is Norris's privilege and pleasure to see her as no one else does, for he has been struck by love for Vida. And in his eyes, under the transforming inspection of his gaze―well, who can tell? Vida may become something more than she appears at the very moment, waiting quietly on her bench, the world breathing delicately around her.”
― Carrie Brown, Lamb in Love
