"Overcome by these perspectives Murphy fell forward on his face on the grass, beside those biscuits of which it could be said as truly as the stars, that one differed from another, but of which he could not partake in their fullness until he had learnt not to prefer any one to any other."
– Murphy, Samuel Beckett

ReplyDeletethis is EXCELLENT
ReplyDeletevt, I can't imagine you'd like any other part of this book. But Murphy's extended rumination on biscuits, of which this is merely a highlight, is certainly worthy of your perusal. Approx. p 96 or 97–98 in the version on Google books.
ReplyDeleteOwen, I know less about your taste in literature, so I won't venture a guess. Glad you liked this bit.
