"She had the look of a trunk person: delicate, wistful, a little withdrawn. I've known many truck people and I'm convinced they accumulate trunks in order to have places in which to hide themselves away when the world becomes too much -- as sooner or later it will."

HERR KEPLER'S NOTEBOOK

The person with a happy home life tracks glitter through the world; the solitary person leaves snowprints.

"The grasshopper warbler's song comes up out of the earth just as you think the day is quietening down. It has no prelude or warm-up: it starts midperformance, as if switched on by the dark, as it if has been singing like this beneath the earth until it was dark enough to come to the surface. As if, though we hardly hear it, this singing never stops."
