“As a breath on glass, -As witch-fires that burn,The gods and monsters pass,Are dust, and return.(“The Face of the Skies”)”
“As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn, The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return!”
“I say burn that witch. (Enos)Aye. Burn the witch. Burn the witch. (Clan)Burn the witch and her ugly shoes too! (Enos)(Braden frowned at him.)Well, they are ugly. (Enos)”
“Shadow and dust shall be reclaimed, earth sealing the tomb from which you came. Dust to dust, ashes to ashes, warrior return, breathe your last. Air, earth, fire, water, hear my voice, obey my order, thrice around your grave do bound, evil sink into the ground. I now invoke the law of three, this is my will, so mote it be.”
“And when the leaves return, and their whisperings fill the night, they'll freeze and burn, where fire and ice collide”
“The world is on fire, I thought wildly. See it burn and oh, my God, it burns for us.”
