There are laws- laws that bind and snare and trap. There are laws that waver like the moon on thin ice and wake only on certain seasons or at an impossible time. There are those that apply to men and only men, and those that apply to women, or to devils. These things you must remember and pass on: to your children and your childrenŐs children till there is no longer a child to remember them. Listen: You have the same eyes and luck as your forbearers. These things you inherited come with a family legend, and whether that is a curse or a blessing is up to you to decide. There are more things in this world than you and I and the birds in trees and the cat by the fire. There are older thingsÉ more ancient than I, more ancient than anyone." *** ~Back to Originals Gallery... |
