John Cowper Powys

“Reason? Justice? The forces that victimized and paralysed him now were those that had created the world. Who was he to contend against them?”

“The world is not made of bread and honey…nor of the sweet flesh of girls. This world is made of clouds and of the shadows of clouds. It is made of mental landscapes, porous as air, where men and women are as trees walking, and as reeds shaken by the wind.”
