Eve of Snows Quotes

“Herald’s Watch rose several hundred feet above the waves of Purdonis Bay, with a great tower at its pinnacle, but its majesty didn’t keep her eye; hundreds of vessels, ranging from fishing boats to cogs, surrounded the island, masts swaying as they packed tight throughout and around the tiny harbor. People moved to and fro, tiny from this distance, bringing to mind maggots swarming a crumpled corpse, the tower a dagger in the dead island’s back.”

“The Touched took a smooth dancing step to stand before Eliles. “And for you, my little girl with eyes of blue, cousin mine, with eyes more colors than mine own, who’s end I cannot see. Will we see, speak, hear again? Will we dance before or after eternity’s end? For you and you alone a gift with name unearned.” The Touched cupped his hands, and when he opened them a blinding light emanated, forcing Ivin to avert his eyes. When the intensity faded he turned to look, and in the man’s bony palm rested a crescent moon, like a ten-inch blade of a curved knife.”
