Blurring

"Generation after generation the water and the land melt and blur; people move across borders that make no sense." (page 55).

I really liked this sentence. I thought that the image of land and water melting was very pretty and poetic. It seems like this book is interested in the ideas of borders and how they change.

  1. What a beautiful quote. I like the visual of water and land melting and blurring together.

  2. like 'Sarah Style' said, it sounds really beautiful and is probably breathtaking.
    i guess that you would be used to the land and the sea merging, but it sounds kind of scary at the same time.
    i'm glad that doesn't happen around here, i don't think i could ever come to terms with it.
