“
Who am I? the monster repeated, still roaring.
I am the spine that the mountains hang upon! I am the tears that the rivers cry! I am the lungs that breathe the wind! I am the wolf that kills the stag, the hawk that kills the mouse, the spider that kills the fly! I am the stag, the mouse and the fly that are eaten! I am the snake of the world devouring its tail! I am everything untamed and untameable! It brought Conor up close to its eye.
I am thils wild earth, come for you, Conor O'Malley."You look like a tree," Conor said.”
