“A large drop of sun lingered on the horizon
and then dripped over and was gone,
and the sky was brilliant over the spot where it had gone,
and a torn cloud, like a bloody rag,
hung over the spot of its going.
And dusk crept over the sky from the eastern horizon,
and darkness crept over the land from the east.”

“It was a mistake to think of houses, old houses, as being empty.
They were filled with memories, with the faded echoes of voices.
Drops of tears, drops of blood, the ring of laughter, the edge of tempers that had ebbed and
flowed between the walls, into the walls, over the years
Wasn't it, after all, a kind of life?
And
there were houses, he knew it, that breathed.
They carried in their wood and stone, their brick and mortar a kind of ego that was nearly,
very nearly, human.”
