The writer Cormac McCarthy died last week. The author of several novels including The Road, No Country for Old Men, All the Pretty Horses, and Blood Meridian, his death is a great loss in the literary world. If you have never read any of his books, I encourage you to take this opportunity to do so. This quote of the week is in his memory. It is one of my favorite lines from Blood Meridian. Even though it may not exactly align with the normal content of Judex, it’s close enough.
“When the lambs is lost in the mountain, he said. They is cry. Sometime come the mother. Sometime the wolf.”
- Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian
