sight two mind
Two days like icebergs bleak, blank, half-melting, all frigid, mainly out of sight, and definitely a threat to peace of mind drifted by and were good to put behind.
struggle book thinking
I worked out a book which I thought was just straight science fiction -- with everything pretty much explained, and suddenly I got an idea which I thought was kind of neat for working in a mythological angle. I'm really struggling with myself. It would probably be a better book if I include it, but on the other hand I don't always like to keep reverting to it. I think what I'm going to do is vary my output, do some straight science fiction and some straight fantasy that doesn't involve mythology, and composites.
battle lasts next
You are a fool to speak of last great battles ... for the last great battle is always the next one.
way absence monument
The absence of a monument can, in its own way, be something of a monument also.
writing stories bones
My favorite form is the short story. From an aesthetics stand point you really have to pare down to the bone. You can't write a throw-away scene.
differences long shapes
I fail to see what difference it makes whether it be supernatural or not--so long as it is malefic, possesses great powers and life span and has the ability to change its shape at will.
stars cold god-love
The stars blazed like the love of God, cold and distant.
friendship
Death is mighty, and is no one's friend.
powerful reading imagination
A powerful flight of the imagination . . . an entirely enjoyable reading experience, wrought by a pair of writers noted for excellence.
thinking talking conversation
I've always been impulsive. My thinking is usually pretty good, but I always seem to do it after I do my talking — by which time I've generally destroyed all basis for further conversation.
hurt facts reconcile
Then you must reconcile yourself to the fact that something is always hurt by any change. If you do this, you will not be hurt yourself.
cousin thinking beast
I enjoy slaughtering beasts, and I think of my relatives constantly.
brother bears lancelot
Thus did I bear Sir Lancelot de Lac to the Keep of Ganleon, whom I trusted like a brother. That is to say, not at all.
kindness soul honor
Of course it does not apply to me. I am the soul of honor, kindness, mercy and goodness. Trust me in all things.
