“‘But Grandma never said anything about how the places might make you feel. She wasn’t a talker, especially not about things like that. When she did talk, it was to tell you how to do something, or to tell you something that had happened before you were born, or to remind you how to act right. She had strict ideas about acting right. She wouldn’t touch you much either. What she liked to touch were woods things, things that came out of the ground. But even without the talking, she taught me to let into my insides the real of this place. From her I learned the deep of here.”

“LOOK AGAIN TO THE HEAVENS–TO THAT DIM, DISTANT ERA OF THE ETERNALS–AND YET ANOTHER WORLD! WORLD! HOW PITIFULLY INADEQUATE IS THAT WORD TO DEPICT THE WONDER OF THE COSMOS. WORLD! IT CANNOT CONVEY THAT WHICH DWARFED WHOLE GALAXIES IN SIZE–IT CRUMBLES BEFORE THE TRUTH THAT WAS GIGANTUS!”
