Kate Forsyth Quote
Words. I had always loved them. I collected them, like I had collected pretty stones as a child. I liked to roll words over my tongue like a lump of molten honeycomb, savoring the sweetness, the crackle, the crunch. Cerulean, azure, blue. Shadowy, sombre, secret. Voluptuous, sensuous, amorous. Kiss, hiss, abyss.Some words sounded dangerous. Pagan. Tiger.Some words seemed to shine. Crystal. Glissade.Some words changed their meaning as I grew older. Ravishing.
