“Access from the street was by way of a Dutch door, whose open top half, that long-ago evening, had come to frame Hector under a ragged leather hat with a wide brim, peering through sunglasses, the darkening Pacific in pale-topped crawl below.“

“The movement of living language is constantly resisting the fixity of bald and final statements.”

— Palmer (1969)
