Playthings Quotes

“The flesh of her face was dried like a flower that is pressed between the pages of a book, the water dried out so that, if there is ink on the pages - if it is a book that has been used in extremis, a book of psalms used where no proper pressing book was present - that ink is blurred, and the words are only just comprehensible: 'so my redeemer liveth', or some such nonsense.”
