as stars in the sky

 

"each as remote, as space-surronded, as stars in the sky."

"No ships, no planes, no land, no boundaries, nothing —

only the limitless blue of sky and ocean, fusing at times

into a single blue bowl. This featureless, cloudless

vastness is a great relief, and reverie-inducing — but,

like sensory deprivation, somewhat terrifying too. The

Vast thrills, as well as terrifies.”

 

[Oliver Sacks, The Island od the Colour-blind]

volcano, to see my footprints in pristine cinereous powder

that a day before had been viscous magma in the Earth’s

interior,[...] brought a self-awareness that was new to me.

A nomadism and curiosity that still influence my career

were ignited beside this expressive, mysterious crater.

Volcanoes were now engrained in my story." [Ili Boleng]

Watership Down

a fragment

 

Fiver gazed back at him with eyes that, like a fly’s,

seemed larger than his head. ‘You think that,’ he said.

‘You believe that. But each of you, in his own way, is

thick in that mist. Where is the —'
