    Barbara Sontheimer
    “Silently she stared at the splintered pieces and felt the flame in her soul gutter.  The flame she had nurtured since she was a child.

    Jeffrey Eugenides
    “When I think back about my immediate reaction to that redheads girl, it seems to spring from an appreciation of natural beauty. I mean the heart pleasure you get from looking at speckled leaves or the palimpsested bark of plane trees in Provence. There was something richly appealing to her color combination, the ginger snaps floating in the milk-white skin, the golden highlights in the strawberry hair. it was like autumn, looking at her. It was like driving up north to see the colors.”
