“"A noise, and the past was chased away, dispersed into the shadows like smoke by the brighter, louder present.”
“The louder the babies screamed, the brighter the lights.”
“We chase away the shadows around each other.”
“What necessity is there to dwell on the Past, when the Present is so much surer-the Future so much brighter?”
“The shadow past is shaped by everything that never happened. Invisible, it melts the present like rain through karst.”
“You're my flame in the dark. We chase away the shadows around each other.”
