“As I listened more closely to the joy of her fado, it was apparent, however, that I might have been wrong about Gabriella: her joy seemed a joy made of something deeper, as though love’s raw ingredients, not just the sweet but the star-crossed and bitter, had all blended together and been cooked until tender, until even the final emptiness was a part of the meal.”

“When Famous Shoes finished his song he noticed that the young white man was asleep. During the day he had not trusted enough, and had worn himself out with pointless scurryings. Perhaps even then the song he had just sung was working in the young man’s dreams; perhaps as he grew older he would learn to trust mysteries and not fear them.

― Larry McMurtry, Comanche Moon
