“The forest was demonically divine at that hour, a bone-white painting on midnight blue paper. I knew I was just the shadowed body an artist leaves on the margins, meant to stand there until the end of time for something outside this universe to watch, so it could shudder at my isolation, my insignificance, and admire the chilling vastness of the world I wanted to leave.”

“If that made him heavy company sometimes, so be it. Who decreed that life was to be one long rowdy masquerade (punctuated with those little pets of melancholy indulged by a crowd who made a religion of their feelings)?”
