Anne Carson Quote
Geryon was amazed at himself. He saw Herakles just about every day now.The instant of natureforming between them drained every drop from the walls of his lifeleaving behind just ghostsrustling like an old map. He had nothing to say to anyone. He felt loose and shiny.He burned in the presence of his motherI hardly know you anymore, she said leaning against the doorway of his room.It had rained suddenly at suppertime,now sunset was startling drops at the window. Stale peace of old bedtimesfilled the room. Love does notmake me gentle or kind, thought Geryon as he and his mother eyed each otherfrom opposite shores of the light
