Michael Cunningham Quote

These spasms of emotion take himconstantly. A song can do it; even the sight of an old dog. They pass. They usually pass. This time,though, tears start falling from his eyes almost before he knows it will happen, and for a moment acompartment of his being (the same compartment that counts steps, sips, claps) says to itself, He'scrying, how strange. Louis leans forward, puts his face in his hands. He sobs.
