Moments of Rich Lyricism

Moments of Rich Lyricism

Examples

“Like pilgrims in a fable swallowed up and lost among the inward parts of some granitic beast”

“Cold Glaucoma dimming away the world”

“Crouching there pale and naked and translucent, its alabaster boons cast up in shadow on the rocks behind it. Its bowels, its beating heart. The brain that pulsed in a dull glass bell.”

“Lying there in the dark with the uncanny taste of a peach from some phantom orchard fading in his mouth”

“Creedless shells of men tottering down the causeways like migrants in a feverland”

“Like a great pendulum in its rotunda scribing through the long day movements of the universe of which you say it knows nothing and yet know it must”

"And the dreams so rich in color. How else would death call you? Waking in the cold dawn it all turned to ash instantly. Like certain ancient frescoes entombed for centuries suddenly exposed to the day."

“You could see them standing in the chamber current where the white edged of their fins wimpled softly into he flow. They smelled of moss in your hand.  Polished and muscular and tensional. On their backs were vermiculite patterns that were maps of the world in its becoming.”
