Recitations

The quotes held within are windows into worlds that I have lived in from time to time. Spoken or sung by people I have met in places removed from the physical world we inhabit, yet no less real than you or I. Their voices can be heard shouting eagerly from between pages or notes or frames in a film. I hope they are valued and remembered as they deserve. Follow me.

It was the year when Frankie thought about the world. And she did not see it as a round school globe, with the countries neat and different-coloured. She thought of the world as huge and cracked and loose and turning a thousand miles an hour. The geography book at school was out of date; the countries of the world had changed.

The Member of the Wedding - Carson McCullers

[recitations]

These things are going to eat away at me and eat away at me and I'm going to drop dead of cancer or heart disease or something. And I shake and shake, and I rewrite the script in my head until it's 100 per cent proof poison, and none of it helps at all.
