with caution ... between the shadow and the soul.”
- Pablo Neruda
“Every heart sings a song, incomplete, until another heart whispers back. Those who wish to sing always find a song. At the touch of a lover, everyone becomes a poet.”
- Plato
I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night. But this night ... this night.
The wolves are silent ... now only the moon howls.
To be nobody but yourself in a world
which is doing its best day and night to make you like
everybody else
means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight and never stop fighting.
Samuel McCord is such a man.
And he bears multiple curses. One such is his love for the alien Empress, Meilori Shinseen.
It will one day be the death of him. It is a price he is more than willing to pay.
Come with me to Elizabeth Craig's Blog:

We are nearing the end of my "Don't You Hate Blog Tours?" Blog Tour.
Don't miss the thrilling last ports of call for the Xanadu.
See you there!
Hi Roland .. your blog tour has been different with an unique perspective for each stopping point ... similarly here with Elizabeth - McCord's love for Meilori ... so strong ... cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Hilary. Your consistent support always is a strong wind in my sails, that sometimes slump!

ReplyDeleteThanks, Alex! And thanks for tweeting about my visit to Elizabeth's Blog, too!

ReplyDeleteI love that Plato quote. So true.
Thanks, Holli. I am trying to give it my all. Like Galaxy Quest: Never Surrender. Never Give Up. :-)
