“When he walked outside again, the sky was shining like a nickel and the air was filled with the smell of sugared nuts.”
“It was early evening when they walked outside, the sky the color of pink lemonade.”
“The sky is grey, the air hot. I walk back across the mown lawn loving the smell and the houses so completely it leaves my heart empty.”
“It was good to walk into a library again; it smelled like home.”
“Dawn filled the sky with roses. In thecrystal-clear air the last song of the nightingaledies. The smell of the wine weakens. This is the momentwhen fools dream of fame! How softis your hair, my beloved!”
“The night was filled with horrors, and he thought he knew how Christ must have felt as he walked through the world, like a psychiatrist through a ward full of nuts, like a victim through a prison full of thieves. What a welcome sight a leper must have been!”
