“I recall pressing my maternal beak to the terminal window’s glass, trying to make my Filbert out somewhere behind the airplane’s impossible little bullet-hole windows. I cried like a fool every time, as of course I did all over again yesterday, embarrassing everyone but Mario, who also cried.”

“The background music is both predictable and, within that predictability, surprising: it’s periodic. It suggests expansion without really expanding. It leads up to the exact kind of inevitability it denies.”

“The images of unsmiling children, looking back at the strange man who has entered into the private space of their fragile and critical object relations, should remind us that the moralising gaze of the camera is not a disinterested thing. We might work harder to remember whose interests these cameras serve. What the photographer ultimately found (and was perhaps looking for all along) was a mirror on his own experience: telling the Times journalist, “It was nice to go back to my childhood somehow.” This is a sad vision of adulthood where you have to point a camera at a child if all you really want to do is play with them.”

“

I never bothered my pretty head about it, Julie said. Sometimes I did the right thing and sometimes I did the wrong thing. In difficult cases, I shut my eyes and leaped. A great deal of leaping.

And yet in those instances that have feelings attached—

I go against them, she said. My feelings. Method of the utmost trustworthiness, learned from the Carmelites.

I follow my feelings, Thomas said, when I can find them.

“

On certain days they glow, they glitter, they shimmer, they unfold and refold like a matador’s cape, they grow thin:

the blues, that bloom at the tip of the stem of the electric current;
the reds, that vibrate or expand or sizzle;
the clarion yellows, the erect ones, because the luxurious lie down, and the sensuous stretch out;
the bright feathers of the greens, always sharp and always cold, the slim ones, dots over the i’s of whites and grays.
Are they the messengers of Someone who dares not appear? Or do they come simply of their own will, because they were born to come?

”
