Take that moment of your greatest pain
and channel it into power.
Stare down the darkness and bend it to your will.
Use it to transform words
into a hydro station of energy
that transforms worlds.
romance is terror transmuted by time January 7, 2013
One never stops to think what underlies romance. Tragedy and terror, transmuted by time. Add a little art in the telling and voilá! a stirring romance, to make the blood run fast and maidens sigh.
Diana Gabaldon in Outlander.
I really like the poetry of this, although I’m questioning the truth of it. Do time, tragedy and terror told artfully equal romance? What do you think?
