Creation of Éa
Only in silence the word,
Only in dark the light,
Only in dying life:
Bright the hawk’s flight
On the empty sky.
- Ursula K. LeGuin, from A Wizard of Earthsea
Someone posted this somewhere else tonight. I read A Wizard of Earthsea when I was about ten years old, in 1968, and it was among the number of books that I can count on one hand that I remember from that era (Walter M. Miller, Jr.'s A Canticle for Leibowitz is another).
And ... that's it.
