Monsoons Quotes

“The sky is scrubbed fresh and stark blue by the gone rain, but every trace of that water has evaporated from the earth around them. It feels like a dream, all that rainfall. 'This is a cycle,' she thinks. Every day a fresh horror, and when it's over, this feeling of surreal detachment. A disbelief, almost, in what they just endured. The mind is magical. Human beings are magical.”
― Jeanine Cummins, American Dirt

“How I missed the sound of rain, like the voice of an old friend.”

“The breath tore from their nostrils in drifts as they pulped the virgin grass with their heavy boots, leaving angry dark welts that bled into the air in vapours of fresh green, and added to the riparian overtones of sediment and silt. The waters of the swollen rivers boiled angry alongside, engorged by the monsoons, racked by opposing currents, dimpled by wild swirling whirlpools.”
― Franciska Soares, They Whisper in my Blood
