“A sematary," I say. "A what?" Viola says, looking round at all the square stones marking out their graves. Must be a hundred, maybe two, in orderly rows and well-kept grass. Settler life is hard and it's short and lotsa New World people have lost the battle.
"It's a place for burying dead folk," I say.
Her eyes widen. "A place for doing what?"
"Don't people die in space?" I ask.
"Yeah," she says. "But we burn them. We don't put them in holes." She crosses her arms around herself, mouth and forehead frowning, peering around at the graves. "How can this be sanitary?”

“Look, this is just the cemetery. It's got bylaws and things! It's not Transylvania! There's just dead people here! That doesn't make it scary, does it? Dead people are people who were living once! You wouldn't be so worked up if there were living people buried here, would you?”

“Depuis que j'ai doue ans, et depuis qu'elle est une terreur, la mort est une marotte. J'en ignorais l'existence jusqu'à ce qu'un camarade de classe, le petit Bonnecarère, m'envoyât au cinéma le Styx, où l'on s'asseyait à l'époque dans des cercueils, voir L'enterré vivant, un film de Roger Corman tiré d'un conte 'Edgar Allan Poe. La découverte de la mort par le truchement de cette vision horrifique d'un homme qui hurle d'impuissance à l'intérieur de son cercueil devint une source capiteuse de cauchemars. Par la suite, je ne cessai de rechercher les attributs de les plus spectaculaires de la mort, suppliant mon père de me céder le crâne qui avait accompagné ses études de médecine, m'hypnotisant de films d'épouvante et commençant à écrire, sous le pseudonyme d'Hector Lenoir, un conte qui racontair les affres d'un fantômr rnchaîné dans les oubliettes du château des Hohenzollern, me grisant de lectures macabres jusqu'aux stories sélectionnées par Hitschcock, errant dans les cimetières et étrennant mon premier appareil avec des photographies de tombes d'enants, me déplaçant jusqu'à Palerme uniquement pour contempler les momies des Capucins, collectionnant les rapaces empaillés comme Anthony Perkins dans Psychose, la mort me semblait horriblement belle, féeriquement atroce, et puis je pris en grippe son bric-à-brac, remisai le crâne de l'étudiant de médecine, fuis les cimetières comme la peste, j'étais passé à un autre stade de l'amour de la mort, comme imprégné par elle au plus profond je n'avais plus besoin de son décorum mais d'une intimité plus grande avec elle, je continuais inlassablement de quérir son sentiment, le plus précieux et le plus haïssable d'entre tous, sa peur et sa convoitise.”

“She loved the ornate gravestones - a last show of one-upmanship. I'll see your marble slab with its fancy biblical quotation and raise you a life-size Jesus on the cross.”
