Melmoth Quotes

“I wonder, when God permitted us to fall, if He knew we'd fall so far.”
― Sarah Perry, Melmoth

“My reader, my dear- you know her, you have been waiting for her: it is the witness, the wandering woman- the punished world's wickedness unfolds! Oh beloved one, my companion- it is I, Melmoth, whose voice you have heard all these hours, all these days...It was I who told you to read, and to bear witness....Didn't you know? Didn't you guess?”
― Sarah Perry, Melmoth
