“ربما كانت هناك طرق كثيره للصعود من الوادي إلى قمة الجبل.. لكن الجبل سيظل دائماً الجبل نفسه, لا يتغير أبداً.. و لابد أن يكون بيني و بينك تشابه كبير حتى نستطيع الوصول إلى قمة الجبل... فمثلاً, لابد أن يكون كل منا من متسلقي الجبال و هناك على القمه.. قد نبني معاً بنياناً ضخماً من الحجاره.. ثم نجلس لنرتاح عليه قليلاً بعد هذا الجهد الذي بذلناه... و ننسى و لو لفتره قصيره همومنا كلها كبيرها و صغيرها..كأننا تركناها كلها وراءنا في الوادي
قلت: هل تعني أننا قد التقينا على الجبل نفسه.. مع إنني أتيت من كوكب و أتيت أنت من كوكب آخر؟
فأومأ برأسه موافقاً و قال: لا يهم اختلاف المكان الذي انطلقنا منه.. إنما المهم حقاً, هو الهدف الذي نسعى إليه”

“Emily kept telling herself this was inevitable, that it was why she’d come to Ireland: to see what her dreams led to. But seeing the man caused goosebumps to rise up on her skin, as if she were seeing a ghost. Her extremities began to tingle, and she felt the blood draining from her face.”
