“Oh, we’ll still hate each other, my dear; we have hated each other too long and too passionately to stop. But my bones will rest easy next to your bones.”

“She died. She can’t come back, even if you keep her stuffed away in a drawer you can’t look at. You’re not waiting for her resurrection; you’ve made yourself her mausoleum.”

“I would make you the poem, Lady Abigail, that you already are.”

“She died because I let her. You don’t understand!”
Oh, ouch.

Also is Ianthe’s body failing to use the sword when Naberius is in control and she’s in the River not direct evidence of the permeability of the soul? Why is she SO against Palamedes’ theory when it’s BEEN happening to her the whole time?

Sometimes I wonder how Pyrrha found Wake again. Was she visited by Wake’s soul in the River postmortem? HOW DID SHE KNOW?

“Poetry is one of the most beautiful shadows a civilization can cast across time.”

“‘I went and got a piece of tubing from the mortuary room,’ she said monotonously. ‘I hit the coffin. I hit the coffin repeatedly. I did so for maybe a minute. You found blood on the glass; it’s mine. I tried my fists, and my feet, and the butt of my sword. That plex glass isn’t plex, or glass.’”
