Gabriel García Márquez
“A lost bird appeared in the court and was half an hour jumping around between the spikenard. It sang a progressive note, rising an octave at a time, until it became so acute that it was necessary to imagine it.”
Gabriel García Márquez, In Evil Hour

“I always knew which way I was going when I didn't know where I was!”
Jonathan Trueman, The Treacle People: Still Sticky
