Watching from the Dark Quotes

“It was a twilit seven o’clock on a beautiful April evening, and the grounds outside looked a strange, seductive deep blue from the window. She looked out at it and wondered why she didn’t seem to feel anything. She was someone who always noticed beauty. Perhaps, she thought, she had wrung herself dry. Or perhaps it was simply that the world didn’t help anyone by being beautiful.”
― Gytha Lodge, Watching from the Dark
