“When a man is to wade throughe a deepe water, there is required tallnesse, as well as courage, and if he findes it past his depth, and God open a gapp another waye, he may take it.”
John Winthrop

Gerald Murnane
“... with their afternoon's work done and settled themselves at the bar to achieve their lifelong task of shaping from uneventful days in a flat landscape the substance of myth”
Gerald Murnane , The Plains

Wallace Stegner
“It was what any of them would have done, to have done less would have been cowardice and disgrace... what would pass for heroics in a softer world was only chores around here”
Wallace Stegner, Wolf Willow

Gerald Murnane
“They could foresee another morning when they walked inside from the sunlight and began to drink seriously and steadily until all the baffling brightness of the world was only a glowing horizon at the far edge of their deep private twilight”
Gerald Murnane, The Plains

“It is the very character of domestic life to present the world as an enclosed owned space, and, although mankind adapts itself on the whole to this condition, both biologically and culturally, yet there remains a glimmer of the opposite tendency inside even the lowliest. He can’t help but experience this new state of things in late civilizations except with dread, the dread suspicion...an uncanny suspicion..... that the world is artificial. He begins to sense that this hothouse he lives in is the malevolent creation of a demiurge that likes to observe our sufferings, that He and his minions feed on them. In the remote future, should the evil of human innovation continue unchecked, we really will live in the world the Gnostics feared, and that spark of vital life and energy that is the gift of nature to all youthful peoples born from its womb, that spark will remain entrapped in “matter wrongly configured,” matter entirely foreign to its inborn desires and workings, but fashioned instead for the benefit of something else.”
Bronze Age Pervert, Bronze Age Mindset
