“The rising and falling cadence of words, carried on the wind, spoken in a language other than human.”
“In that moment Ged understood the singing of the bird, and the language of the water falling in the basin of the fountain, and the shape of the clouds, and the beginning and end of the wind that stirred the leaves; it seemed to him that he himself was a word spoken by the sunlight.”
“These are the seasons of emotion,and like the winds, they rise and fall.”
“The spoken word vanished with the wind. Likewise, the unrecorded life disappears as if it never existed.”
“When the wind stops, kite falls but bird flies; because bird did not borrow the wind when rising!”
“A person rises on a word and falls on a syllable.”
