Excerpt (from "Gothics and Sawteeth"):
"And there I was in an era when clouds dominated the skies, and the sun seemed to exist only in my mind and in old photographs. Soon the colors of the landscapes and the clouds and the open spaces around me began to run dry. No longer could I differentiate the motives of the wind swept skies from the definition of the horizon. The rocks and the snow, the wind and the ice, blended together and their very meaning became elusive with every step. The mountains that I had become so dependent upon for spiritual conversation and mental contemplation were in the process of turning their backs on my very soul."
