    Lois hopes that Clark is well.
    ***
    It was common sense, by the human standard at least, that there is darkness before there is light. However, that knowledge had never made early mornings more bearable for Lois. As such expecting the expected had never made a miserable experience less miserable. She figured that’s how she’d describe dying to be like.

    Summary

    In the Unreal City, where time and space are never fully jointed, Madame Sosostris reigns supreme. But a bad cold, the Ides of April and an unruly client have been plotting to disrupt her schedule, blending the mythic with the mundane beyond recognition. Now all the city's voices say it's her turn to have her fortune told.

    "She had a know-how, could concoct a little formula for every impressionable youth who hoped to find jewels in her basket of crabs. Like the one who sat behind her mahogany table now, looking out of place – they all did, in their own way, like the sailors she had sent to a heroic, pointless end not forty minutes ago after an eloquent reading. She knew they would turn up in her pack soon: a compelling card, the Three Lost Sailors, lots of possibilities. And you would see the details in the drawing, that this one’s hair had been red, this one already limped, and the third was tired beyond his years. From this they would gain meaning. But the girl behind the table, yes, she felt even more displaced.
    “What was your question again, dear?”"

    This prose poem from Cassandra's point of view that is as inevitable as the tide. The way the writer shapes the imagry of repetitive labor: weaving, ploughing, eating, living, dying. The mix of modern and more lyical language is simply amazing.

    “I’m not really equipped to handle ghosts, is the thing,” Pubert explains, conversational. The circle is easy enough to draw when you’ve got a head wound to supply blood for it. His fingers dip into the flow as it hits his neck - keeping things clean - and the sigils are easier than the alphabet, considering he started learning them in his nursery. “I went to Boy Scouts, and did camp in the summer instead of Aunt Didi’s seance lessons. So I'm calling for backup.”

    Starbuck persuades Captain Ahab to pick up a drifting whaleboat, only to find it contains the scions of two notoriously feuding Nantucket families, the Yorks and the Lancasters, who, following the wreck of the whaleship Albion, have been stuck together in a little rowboat for a week.

    Richard’s plan was to kill Henry. Even if it wasn’t for the fact his enemy was a waste of water and … you know … made out of meat, if it came to that; the incessant talking and praying and singing fucking hymns was driving him mad. But then Henry, never the sharpest harpoon on the rack, takes the insult ‘suck my cock’ a bit too literally and Richard realises maybe there is a point to keeping him alive after all …
