"This is the light of the mind, cold and planetary.
The trees of the mind are black. The light is blue.
The grasses unload their griefs at my feet as if I were God,
Prickling my ankles and murmuring of their humility.
Fumy spiritous mists inhabit this place
Separated from my house by a row of headstones.
I simply cannot see where there is to get to."

"Surely I knew this pale face, this dark brown hair, this dark brow, these dark eyes that spoke of eternal anguish and resolve. I had known that woman since I’d opened my first book at the age of seven — since I’d started, at the age of five, to dream… She was a swirling blend of all the women I had ever imagined."
😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

“Penelope,” I breathed. Her fingers skated along my cheek, then brushed over my mouth. “Say that again,” she said. “Penelope,” I whispered, and she traced the movement of my lips, feeling the shape of her name upon them. “Penelope, Penelope, Penelope.”

😵‍💫🫨🫪🫠😩🤭😛😮‍💨

"I just wonder if they were able to be honest with themselves…before it was all over. Did they ever admit their feelings, or did Patroclus die never knowing how Achilles truly felt?”
-
“I hope they did,” I finally admitted, every word placed so carefully between us. “For it would seem an awful waste otherwise, to think they had spent nine summers side by side, loving each other but never admitting it.”

patrochilles is haunting the narrative.... SOMEBODY SEDATE ME

"My mother cried when the king of Sparta first summoned me.
I could not understand why.
I remember staring up at her face, familiar features made foreign by emotions too heavy to grasp in my small hands."

"My darling friend, why did you come to me?
Why did you tell me all these things? I will do everything exactly as you said. But please, come nearer and stand next to me, and let us put our arms around each other, for just a little while, and have the joy of grief and lamentation."

"And I have something else to ask of you, if you will listen. Do not put my bones apart from yours, Achilles, but together, as we were raised together in your house."
