“oh this is how it starts lightning strikes your heart, and it goes off like a gun, brighter than the sun....”
“At night a candle's brighter than the sun”
“we're anything brighter than even the sun”
“The gun goes off. I fall.”
“The best way to find out things, if you come to think of it, is not to ask questions at all. If you fire off a question, it is like firing off a gun; bang it goes, and everything takes flight and runs for shelter. But if you sit quite still and pretend not to be looking, all the little facts will come and peck round your feet, situations will venture forth from thickets and intentions will creep out and sun themselves on a stone; and if you are very patient, you will see and understand a great deal more than a man with a gun.”
“He was alone in the darkness once more, but the darkness became brighter and brighter until it was burning like the sun.”
