Samo zvuk kopita na kamenju i zvuci naseg disanja... Priguseno svjetlo kad se sunce sudarilo s oblacima... Zidovi dana potresani grmljavinom... Neprirodno jasni obrisi udaljenih predmeta... Hladan, elektricno plavi osjecaj u zraku... Opet grmljavina... Sad - uzbiban, staklasti zastor kise koja mi.. | Roger Zelazny | ||

Normally, he remains away far from the scene of his hoodling, employing agents to execute it for him. The other, Jamie Buckler, is one such. He has hoodled.. | malaprop neologism | Roger Zelazny | |
| 3fdbac7 | I took Jack his slippers this evening and lay at his feet before a roaring fire while he smoked his pipe, sipped sherry, and read the newspaper.

| a228e95 | We forget that, historically, people have eaten for a great many reasons other than biological necessity.
