kemuri no wan

It’s been ages since I posted anything about music. It’s a part of my life I’ve left behind. But as I was going through old files a while back, I came across some recordings which I had half-forgotten existed.

Quotes by Dale Stromberg  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“It is as though within her heart there is a womb, and within this womb an unwanted infant has swollen large, too large, and now strains against her bosom with such pressure as to hamper breathing. It fills and distends her, too bulky ever to be delivered, yet if she cannot bring it forth then it will rend her asunder.”
Dale Stromberg, Maej

“Lessons of faith defy the mind. Shut your mouth. Stop pretending to know anything. Do not learn the truth. Do the truth. Our faith taught us to renew that palace so that we might watch it decay. We knew it would decay. Knowing was useless. We had to watch it.”
Dale Stromberg, Maej
