Quotes from Michael Crummey

He couldn't decided whether it bothered him most to think the sailors' tale might be true or to think it was spacious in every detail and passed around as God's word regardless. The death of a horse if the life of a crow and a story was a rank scavenger from all he could tell, feeding on rumour and innuendo and naked confabulation where the truth was too nimble to chase down or too tough to chew.
