We'll see how long this dreamwidth journal remains purely for my word and book snippet collection.
Finally finished re-reading The Dark Is Rising series by Susan Cooper.

skirled
maroons
thwarts
spinnaker
whickering
brindle-bearded
halyards
toadflax

this long-worked land so many centuries on the anvil
[the Dark] will rise not through the spilling of blood but through the coldness in the hearts of men
with good attention
this world and all its perilous beauty
retreated into an unseeing happiness
lost the pattern ofyour life
Every human being who loves another loves imperfection.
a half-smile that held no happiness, but great affection
the astonishing burden
the evil that is inside men is at the last a matter for men to control
fierce caring
in so brave a world
the melancholy of parting
