Quotes by Elizabeth-Jane Burnett (?)

“I am plant as well as animal. My blood transports oxygen; my chlorophyll produces it. Oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, phosphorus surge along tissue, torso, culm to my blades. Blood blends magnesium as well as iron. I am grass made flesh. Grassling.”
― Elizabeth-Jane Burnett, The Grassling

“I run on a thousand chandeliers, as each blade sparkles with frost; a river of glass underfoot. It is as though the elements are reversed: sky is ground and ground is sky, and I am running on the pinheads of constellations, leaping from star to frosted star.”

“If it wants to listen to the trees, it is best to be in them, it reminds itself, not out in the open fringes.”
