An Angel at My Table Quotes

“When as children we experimented with our identity and place by moving from ourselves to encircle the planets, in our repeated inscriptions - name, street, town, - Oamaru, North Otago, Otago, South Island, New Zealand, the Southern Hemisphere, the World, the Universe, the Planets and Stars, we were making a simple journey in words, and perhaps, a prophecy of being; we were lyric poets forced to realise the possibility of epics, and in a matter-of-fact way we included these epic possibilities in ordinary thinking.”
― Janet Frame, An Angel at My Table
