Writer's
Walk
Peter Carey (geb. 1943)
... glass
is a thing in disguise, an actor, is not solid
at all, but a liquid, and while it is as frail as
the
ice on a Parramatta puddle, it is stronger under
compression than Sydney sandstone ... it is invisible,
solid, a joyous and paradoxical thing ...
Oscar and Lucinda
(1988) |
