The Ineffable Mysteris of Life

Cool quote from Change & Eng, the remarkably well written novel that the ever-spangly [livejournal.com profile] spidermonster lent me.

Things are more divine if they seem unreal. When you cannot view an event except with the perplexed eyes of an outsider, when you covet a connection to the world that you believe you can never touch, the most basic facts of life seem miraculous; women appear as miraculous as the cosmos does to a stargazer.
