“What if you slept
And what if
In your sleep
You dreamed
And what if
In your dream
You went to heaven
And there plucked a strange and beautiful flower
And what if
When you awoke
You had that flower in your hand
Ah, what then?”
― Samuel Taylor Coleridge, The Complete Poems

“Whisper Children are actually more powerful than any evil, Wonder,” her grandfather answered, smiling. “And we have Time on our side; we always know when the Tairharts are entering a dangerous period because those periods only occur when our Time is moving faster than the humans' Time. The rest of your training is going to consist of your observing a Ripple of Discontent being formed and the creation of a Tairhart, followed by the consequences of shards of broken hearts piercing other hearts. It will be painful for you to watch, but you must first observe the true nature of the Tairharts in order to prepare yourselves to defend the humans. Do you feel you're ready?”
― Dora E.H. Crow, Winky & Wonder: Book I And Book II
