I managed to function. Because I was so quiet anyway, I hid these dislocations of mind. Only, I had determined that I did not somehow belong with the careless well of the world anymore. I belonged with…Anaïs. On campus, I watched the well-fed, sane, secure, shining-haired and leather-belted ribbons of students pass me by. I would never be one of them! Agh, freshman year, right?!

I showed her the Berlitz book I’d found on a stellar day in the mission rummage, brand-new, not a mark in it. “Say something, say something!” Marn cried. “La nord, le sud, l’ouest, et l’est sont les quatre points cardinaux!”

Dirt that went ten feet down—rich, black clods you felt like holding in your fist and biting.

Unable to sleep, he lighted a candle stub and paged through the Meditations until he found the one he needed, the one that told him no longer to wander at hazard or wait to read the books he was reserving for old age, but to throw away idle hopes (Louisa!) and come to his own aid, if he cared for himself and while it was in his power.

I had expected to feel joy but instead felt a confusion of sorrow, or maybe fear, for it seemed that my life was a hungry story and I its source, and with this kiss I had now begun to deliver myself into the words. This lady can write the beginning of a book or what.
