Rebel's Keep Quotes

“He suddenly thought of the stretching vastness of the green moors he loved, of the rooty smells after the rains, the butting and frisking of new lambs, the faraway glimmer of the first star when evening fell, the song of the lark at the break of day, his mother's broth and oatcakes, the cozy of a peat fire while outside rain pummeled the thatch. Then he thought of his father's voice filling the family croft with love and warmth, and with a joy that he had often thought must be something very much like heaven.”
― Douglas Bond, Rebel's Keep
