““And what good is a dream finally? It breaks your heart and you stand in the lush dark of the moment after twilight ends and begin to sing and nothing makes sense to you and you sing louder for a while, then awkwardly sit down where you are. And the stars overhead shine a little—no more or less than usual—and whether it is daylight and they are invisible or whether it is night and they are the embers of a blacksmith’s fire, they shine and you are grateful. That love is like a hammer.””
