the man and the boy

March 26, 2009

My nightly reading for the past few days. Haunting, loving, fearful and corrupt. It's up there with my very favourites. Itching to see the film now. Viggo Mortensen is the perfect casting. Itching!

"He walked out in the gray light and stood and he saw for a brief moment the absolute truth of the world. The cold relentless circling of the intestate earth. Darkness implacable. The blind dogs of the sun in their running. The crushing black vacuum of the universe. And somewhere two hunted animals trembling like ground-foxes in their cover. Borrowed time and borrowed world and borrowed eyes with which to sorrow it."
