“In winter', said Merowdis, lost in her thoughts, 'the wood is supposed to be asleep. That is what people say. But I don't think it's true. In spring and summer the trees and creatures are preoccupied. Everyone is busy. In winter there is silence.'

“SIT WITH ME
I’m not trying to write a tailored suit.

I write for the weather I know.”
― Jarod K. Anderson, Field Guide to the Haunted Forest

“So these are reports of my explorations and discoveries: tales from Earthsea for those who have liked or think they might like the place, and who are willing to accept these hypotheses:

― Ursula K. Le Guin, Tales from Earthsea
