Philippa Gregory
“In the darkness of the forest he saw her, and whispered her name, Melusina, and at that summoning she rose out of the water and he saw that she was a woman of cool and complete beauty to the waist, and below that she was scaled, like a fish. She promised him that she would come to him and be his wife, she promised him that she would make him as happy as a mortal woman can, she promised him that she would curb her wild side, her tidal nature, that she would be an ordinary wife to him, a wife that he could be proud of; if he in return would let her have a time when she could be herself again, when she could return to her element of water, when she could wash away the drudgery of a woman’s lot and be, for just a little while, a water goddess once more. She knew that being a mortal woman is hard on the heart, hard on the feet. She knew that she would need to be alone in the water, under the water, the ripples reflected on her scaly tail now and then. He promised her that he would give her everything, everything she wanted, as men in love always do. And she trusted him despite herself, as women in love always do.”
Philippa Gregory, The White Queen

Barbara Sontheimer
“My heart aches, a drowsy numbness pains as if of hemlock I had drunk."

Ode To A NIghtengale, John Keats”
Barbara Sontheimer

Stephen Douglass
“She’ll find you. Her need to know you will eventually consume her.”
Stephen Douglass, The Tainted Trust

Alan Weisman
“...aunque obviamente los humanos hemos sobrevivido a cualquier virus o meteorito que la naturaleza nos ha lanzado hasta ahora, la tecnología es algo que nosotros nos lanzamos a nosotros mismos por nuestra cuenta y riesgo.”
Alan Weisman, The World Without Us

James Fenimore Cooper
“So much the better — so much the better; for I have always found that a conceited man never knows content. All things prove it. Why have we not the wings of the pigeon, the eyes of the eagle, and the legs of the moose, if it had been intended that man should be equal to all his wishes?”
James Fenimore Cooper, Delphi Complete Works of James Fenimore Cooper
