“She had learned, in her life, that time lived inside you. You are time, you breathe time. When she'd been young, she'd had an insatiable hunger for more of it, though she hadn't understood why. Now she held inside her a cacophony of times and lately it drowned out the world. The apple tree was still nice to lie near. They peony, for its scent, also fine. When she walked through the woods (infrequently now) she picked her way along the path, making way for the boy inside to run along before her. It could be hard to choose the time outside over the time within.”

“I wanted to thank you for saving my life. I am still puzzled about your motives though. Was it revenge against Zedan for rejecting you?” “You insult me. It seems that you think of everybody in the same lowly terms you think of yourself. If there is anybody I should hate for Zedan rejecting me, it should be you. He was only doing what is expected of him in our society.” “You mean you don't hate me?” This was a new revelation to Brown. It worried him. He was used to hate, he could deal with it, but this he could not understand, he had used the girl ruthlessly and yet she did not hate him.”

“He watched the sun rise beyond the grape arbor. In the thin golden light the young leaves and tendrils of the Scuppernong were like Twink Weatherby's hair. He decided that sunrise and sunset both gave him a pleasantly sad feeling. The sunrise brought a wild, free sadness; the sunset, a lonely yet a comforting one. He indulged his agreeable melancholy until the earth under him turned from gray to lavender and then to the color dried corn husks.”
