“As for myself, I am splintered by great waves. I am coloured glass from a church window long since shattered. I find pieces of myself everywhere, and I cut myself handling them.”
“I have been driven to search everywhere just to find myself mentioned. I am mentioned almost nowhere, but where I find myself, I find myself condemned.”
“Where ever I am I always find myself looking out the window wishing I was somewhere else. ”
“Let me pull myself out of these waters. But they heap themselves on me; they sweep me between their great shoulders; I am turned; I am tumbled; I am stretched, among these long lights, these long waves, these endless paths, with people pursuing, pursuing.”
“I lose and find myself in the long water. I am gathered together once more. ”
“Each piece of glass is another piece of myself I gave to him. It's too bad I didn't keep any pieces for myself.”
