Did you post witnesses? he said. To report to you on the continuing existence of those places once you'd quit them?

But you were a witness against yourself. You sat in judgement on your own deeds.

Hear me, man. I spoke in the desert for you and you only and you turned a deaf ear to me.

For The Judge:
Straight = Winding: "The straight and the winding way are one and now that you are here what do the years count since last we two met together? "
True = False: "Men’s memories are uncertain and the past that was differs little from the past that was not."

Coagulated rabble:
"A dimly seething rabble had coagulated within. As if the raw board structure erected for their containment occupied some ultimate sink into which they had gravitated from off the surrounding flatlands."

Do you think there’ll be no day again?
The kid watched him. Will it not stop? he said.
It will not.

„If war is not holy man is nothing but antic clay.“
Human - is this wishful thinking, an unexploited possibility, a missed opportunity?

„The earth fell away on every side equally in its arcature and by these limits were they circumscribed and of them were they locus.“
I don’t like thinking about “Le Petit Prince” now.

Blood Meridian's subtexts: Reckoning our past, nature's finitude, whose land is it, racism, genocide, war, religion's contradictions, meaning, family, identity, colonialism, why're we here to name a few. Like the judge, like Moby Dick, it will never die #BloodMeridian #McCarthy23

dancing and fiddling at once. His feet are light and nimble. He never sleeps. He says that he will never die. He dances in light and in shadow and he is a great favorite. He never sleeps, the judge. He is dancing, dancing. He says that he will never die #BloodMeridian #McCarthy23

And they are dancing, the board floor slamming under the jackboots and the fiddlers grinning hideously over their canted pieces. Towering over them all is the judge and he is naked dancing, his small feet lively and quick and now in doubletime... #BloodMeridian #McCarthy23

And yet there will be one there always who is a true dancer and can you guess who that might be?
You aint nothin.
You speak truer than you know.

In any event the history of all is not the history of each nor indeed the sum of those histories and none here can finally comprehend the reason for his presence for he has no way of knowing even in what the event consists. #BloodMeridian #McCarthy23

He set the empty glass down again. He wiped his mouth and turned around and placed his elbows on the bar behind him. Watching him across the layered smoke in the yellow light was the judge. #BloodMeridian #McCarthy23

They passed enormous ricks of bones, colossal dikes composed of horned skulls and the crescent ribs like old ivory bows heaped in the aftermath of some legendary battle, great levees of them curving away over the plain into the night. #BloodMeridian #McCarthy23

a train of wagons moving off to the northeast with great tottering loads of bones...The bones had been gathered into windrows ten feet high and hundreds long or into great conical hills topped with the signs or brands of their owners. #BloodMeridian #McCarthy23

They’re gone. Ever one of them that God ever made is gone as if they’d never been at all....The old hunter pulled his blanket about him. I wonder if there’s other worlds like this, he said. Or if this is the only one. #BloodMeridian #McCarthy23

"the animals by the thousands and tens of thousands and the hides pegged out over actual square miles of ground and the teams of skinners spelling one another around the clock and the shooting and shooting weeks and months." Thinking again of Moby Dick. #BloodMeridian #McCarthy23

What man would not be a dancer if he could, said the judge. It’s a great thing, the dance. (327)
