J.R.R. Tolkien
“Suddenly Tom’s talk left the woods and went leaping up the young stream, over waterfalls, over pebbles and worn rocks, and among small flowers in close grass and wet crannies, wandering at last up on to the Downs.”
J.R.R. Tolkien

Iris Murdoch
“. . . darkness was staining all the intricate channels of what had once seemed so perfect.”
Iris Murdoch, The Sacred and Profane Love Machine
