“Tall windows show Infinity;
And, hard reality,
The candles weep and pry and dance
Like lives mocked at by Chance. The rooms are vast as Sleep within;
When once I ventured in,
Chill Silence, like a surging sea,
Slowly enveloped me.”

“A library is like an island in the middle of a vast sea of ignorance, particularly if the library is very tall and the surrounding area has been flooded.”

“Show me slowly what I only
know the limits of
Dance me to the end of love”

“having
someone think of me that way was like discovering
a new window in the room i'd lived in all my life.”

“When I play on my fiddle in Dooney,
Folk dance like a wave of the sea.”

“I like it when it rains hard. It sounds like white noise everywhere, which is like silence but not empty.”

“Thrown like a star in my vast sleep
I open my eyes to take a peep
To find that I was by the sea
Gazing with tranquillity. 'Twas then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Came singing songs of love…”

“We are like fish
In this vast sea.
And Satan fishes
For you and me.”

“On the fifth day, which was a Sunday, it rained very hard. I like it when it rains hard. It sounds like white noise everywhere, which is like silence but not empty.”

“"I see..." said the vampire thoughtfully, and slowly he walked across the room towards the window.”
