Ema’s Reviews > Till We Have Faces > Status Update

I saw well why the gods do not speak to us openly, nor let us answer. Till that word can be dug out of us, why should they hear the babble that we think we mean? How can they meet us face to face till we have faces?

When the time comes to you at which you will be forced at last to utter the speech which has lain at the centre of your soul for years, which you have, all that time, idiot-like, been saying over and over, you’ll not talk about joy of words.

And for all I can tell, the only difference is that what many see we call a real thing, and what only one sees we call a dream.

Reading this on Hoopla. I finally feel like I’m enjoying the book. I started this book and then put it down for a week. It started slow but it has picked up and the story is keeping me. Hopefully I’ll finish soon.
