“من در اين تاريكي
فكر يك بره‌ي روشن هستم
كه بيايد علف خستگي‌ام را بچرد.
من در اين تاريكي
امتداد تر بازوهايم را
زير باراني مي‌بينم
كه دعاهاي نخستين بشر را تر كرد.
من در اين تاريكي
در گشودم به چمن‌هاي قديم،
به طلايي‌هايي، كه به ديوار اساطير تماشا كرديم.
من در اين تاريكي
ريشه‌ها را ديدم
و براي بته‌ي نورس مرگ، آب را معني كردم.”

“Tonight, though, my soul was heavy—with Raihn’s torture and Mische’s past, with Vincent’s lies and the dark memories stirred by the Ministaer’s mouth on my skin. Maybe I was weak. Maybe I was foolish.
But even though I knew I should pull away, I didn’t.
No, I drank up Raihn’s touch like one last gulp of wine. A secret, shameful vice.”
― The Serpent and the Wings of Night

“It was the closest I’d ever get to an apology. I had never seen Vincent apologize to anyone for anything, ever. But one had to learn how to hear what lingered in between the words. Just like he never told me he loved me, but I heard it in every stern instruction.
And now, even though he did not say he was sorry, I heard it in the slightly lower cadence of his voice in that single sentence.
You had to bend, with people like Vincent. Reach for what they wouldn’t give you themselves.”
