Quotes

  • mariiaskliarovahas quoted4 years ago
    A touch of the hand and this burning would, on the instant,

    beautifully reverse itself. Eckels remembered the

    wording in the advertisements to the letter. Out of chars

    and ashes, out of dust and coals, like golden salamanders,

    the old years, the green years, might leap; roses sweeten

    the air, white hair turn Irish-black, wrinkles vanish; all,

    everything fly back to seed, flee death, rush down to their

    beginnings, suns rise in western skies and set in glorious

    easts, moons eat themselves opposite to the custom, all and

    everything cupping one in another like Chinese boxes, rabbits

    in hats, all and everything returning to the fresh death,

    the seed death, the green death, to the time before the

    beginning. A touch of a hand might do it, the merest touch

    of a hand.
