The Water Mage's Daughter Quotes

A leash with Demons at its length.”

“Cold comradeship do stars provide.
They light the closer, inner side
Of night's vast weight, which, chill and clear,
Pulls on us like some puppeteer.
Its unseen threads to heads and hearts
Attached, it acts us through our parts,
From birth's first cry to bent old age,
Upon our distant, tiny stage.”
― McKenzie Bodkin, The Water Mage's Daughter: A Novel of Love, Magic and War in Verse

“If dreams were wine, you'd be a sot.”
― McKenzie Bodkin, The Water Mage's Daughter: A Novel of Love, Magic and War in Verse

“Love, at its best, wipes commonsense
Away. Much as drops will condense
From hidden liquid in the air,
So, too, do lovers soon compare
Their temp’ratures til, happily,
Their judgement fogs up suddenly.”
― McKenzie Bodkin, The Water Mage's Daughter: A Novel of Love, Magic and War in Verse
