“Steel screams when it's forged, it gasps when it's quenched. It creaks when it goes under load. I think even steel is scared, son. Take half an hour to think? A drink of water? A drink of wind?

― Walter M. Miller Jr.

“And I am all the things I have ever loved: scuppernong wine, cool baptisms in silent water, dream books and number playing.”
