       | moss in your hand. Polished and muscular and torsional. On their
       | backs were vermiculate patterns that were maps of the world in
       | its becoming. Maps and mazes. Of a thing which could not be put
       | back. Not be made right again. In the deep glens where they lived
       | all things were older than man and they hummed of mystery."

       | Cormac McCarthy's writing affected me on such a deep level as a
       | young adult. I had never realized prose could have that affect on
       | me. He will be missed.
