“Days were like long twilights in the house under the black walnut trees; through untrimmed shrubs screening the windows the sun scarcely shone. It was a low, white frame house with a sagging porch roof supported by two chains that through years of stress had cracked the overhang of the main roof where they were attached, pulling it downward at so noticeable an angle that everything—overhang, chains, porch roof—appeared checked from collapsing by nothing more than the tar paper over the cracked boards.”

“Viewed from sufficient distance, all problems are simple. All knots can be untied with a few deaths, or ten thousand.”

“In any case, all the memories of those years full of life will soon fade; disease doesn't spare your memories; they will die the very instant she does.”

“Atlantis sinks.
Serves it right. Red hates the place. For one thing, there are so many Atlantises, always sinking, in so many strands: an island off Greece, a mid-Atlantic continent, an advanced pre-Minoan civilization on Crete, a spaceship floating north of Egypt, on and on. Most strands lack Atlantis altogether, know the place only through dreams and mad poets’ madder whispers.”

“I don’t look at a clock in the night but I’ve spent so many nights awake that I usually know the time within around ten or twenty minutes; I know the texture of the passing hours and the texture of my thoughts as the night abrades them. Around now they begin to show signs of wear. The little calm persuasions become frustrations. The forgiveness becomes laughable, and all the forgiven things that should be outside the room are in fact hovering about by my bed half-satisfied as if there’s something else they need from me.”
