“Across the years an anguished call Drifts with the tide, "They've killed my boy!" - by thousands multiply.”
“I was reminded of how years before, he had drifted away from one of our afternoon strolls and got surrounded by the tide - Corrigan, isolated on a sandbar, tangled in light, voices from the shores drifting over him, calling his name.”
“In a thousand years time this day will have existed for a thousand years to the day. And the ignorance of the whole world about what they've said today will have a date too.”
“My thoughts swim. Back and forth, in and out, across the tides of history”
“Dogs know we need to give affection as much as they need to receive it. They were the first therapists; they've been in practice for thousands of years.”
“I loved you, so I drew these tides of men into my hands/and wrote my will across the sky in stars”
