He was a man of few words, but his silences were not the silences of a man with nothing to say.
She had a way of walking that made it seem as though she were disappearing with every step she took.
There was the world and there was the world as he knew it.
He had been a man of order, and now he was a man of chaos.
She was a woman who had come to know that the world was not kind, but she had not let it taint her.
The past was a place that was always remembered differently than it had been.

The land had a way of hiding its secrets, but it also had a way of revealing them in time.
She was a force of nature, and nothing could stand in her way.
He had never known a love that was not accompanied by loss.
