"Be happy, cried the Nightingale, be happy; you shall have your red rose. I will build it out of music by moonlight, and stain it with my own heart's-blood. All that I ask of you in return is that you will be a true lover, for Love is wiser than Philosophy, though she is wise, and mightier than Power, though he is mighty. Flame-coloured are his wings, and coloured like flame is his body. His lips are sweet as honey, and his breath is like frankincense." — Oscar Wilde

"Oh! the fluttering and pattering of the green things growing!Talking each to each when no man's knowing; In the wonderful white of the weird moonlight,Or the grey dreamy dawn when the cocks are crowing." — Mrs. Craik

Lisa added a quote:
"How sweet the moonlight sleeps upon this bank
Here we will sit, and let the sounds of music
Creep in our ears; soft stillness, and the night
Become the touches of sweet harmony
" — William Shakespeare

I enjoyed all of the characters and unique plot. Using this novel as my only example, Norman seems to be one of those writers that can say a lot more with less: a character's comment or action, what they don't say, etc. If this interests you, read some of the more insightful, prolific reviews for a better idea.(less) "
