He said the dead had souls, but when I asked him
How that could be---I thought the dead were souls,
He broke my trance. Don't that make you suspicious
That there's something the dead are keeping back?
Yes, there's something the dead are keeping back.

- Robert Frost, "Two Witches"

hah! i love that one.... i also really like the one for chapter three:

every hour wounds... the last one kills

-old saying

[stormofshadow]

yes yes... i remember that one quite vividly. it's all these little hints that keep getting dropped that make the book so disturbing.

i just started re-reading it.... i'm only on page 60... but i have this thing with books... even though i can LOVE a book... i tend to forget a whole lot of details... it's almost as if i'm reading it for the first time again...

seven years of studying jossolo[g]y and i am only NOW starting to understand it... no need to explain. ;)

What is this from? I'm a big Buffy fan and I have read almost all of Frost poems but I have never seen this from. Is it from a Buffy book?

hahahaaaa... anth man, american gods. yup. that's the quote that neil used to start chapter eight. he's a quotemancer, kind of like me. i start every entry in my new journal with a quote now. =D

you better believe that neil and joss know something that very few people do. because it's the truth!

i'm not sure if it's part of 'early poems'... it's a rather obsure poem, i think.

if you like robert frost's work... you'll probably like hemingway as well...
