Algernon Blackwood
“The loneliness of the place had entered our very bones, and silence seemed natural, for after a bit the sound of our voices became a trifle unreal and forced; whispering would have been the fitting mode of communication, I felt, and the human voice, always rather absurd amid the roar of the elements, now carried with it something almost illegitimate. It was like talking out loud in church, or in some place where it was not lawful, perhaps not quite safe, to be overheard.”
Algernon Blackwood, The Willows

“The Wilderness holds answers to more questions than we have yet learned to ask.”
Nancy Newhall
