“Nance knew that the only reason they had allowed her this damp cabin between mountain and wood and river for twenty-odd years was because she stood in for that which was not and could not be understood. She was the gatekeeper at the edge of the world. The final human hymn before all fell to wind and shadow and the strange creaking of stars. She was a pagan chorus. An older song.”
“‘I am an ash tree in the face of a storm. Despite the woods, I alone court the lightning.’”
“Father Healy shook his head. ‘…You know what they say, woman? The road to Hell is paved with good intentions.’ ‘And the road to Heaven is well signposted, Father…’ Nance smiled. ‘But badly lit at night.’”
