Teksten er et uddrag af en novelle.

The house, to begin with, was a very old one. It had been, I believe, newly fronted about

fifty years before; but with this exception, it had nothing modern about it. […]

There had been very little done in the way of modernising details; and,

perhaps, it was better so; for there was something queer and by-gone in the very walls

and ceilings – in the shape of doors and windows – in the odd diagonal site of the

chimney-pieces – in the beams and ponderous cornices – not to mention the singular

solidity of all the woodwork, from the banisters to the window-frames, which hopelessly

defied disguise, and would have emphatically proclaimed their antiquity through any

conceivable amount of modern finery and varnish. […]

The back bedroom, with its two queerly-placed melancholy windows, staring vacantly

at the foot of the bed, and with the shadowy recess to be found in most old houses in

Dublin, like a large ghostly closet, which, from congeniality of temperament, had

amalgamated with the bedchamber, and dissolved the partition. At night-time, this

“alcove” – as our “maid” was wont to call it – had, in my eyes, a specially sinister and

suggestive character. Tom’s distant and solitary candle glimmered vainly into its darkness.

There it was always over-looking him – always itself impenetrable. But this was only part

of the effect. The whole room was, I can’t tell how, repulsive to me. There was, I suppose,

in its proportions and features, a latent discord – a certain mysterious and indescribable

relation, which jarred indistinctly upon some secret sense of the fitting and the safe, and

raised indefinable suspicions and apprehensions of the imagination. On the whole, as I

began by saying, nothing could have induced me to pass a night alone in it. 

J. Sheridan Le Fanu, ”An account of some strange disturbances in Aungier Street”, 1853

Teksten er et uddrag fra en roman.

He met his father in the lobby of the St Angelus and they walked up Chadbourne Street to

the Eagle Cafe and sat in a booth at the back. Some at the tables stopped talking when

they came in. A few men nodded to his father and one said his name.

The waitress called everybody doll. She took their order and flirted with him. His father

took out his cigarettes and lit one and put the pack on the table and put his Third Infantry

Zippo lighter on top of it and leaned back and smoked and looked at him. He told him his

uncle Ed Alison had gone up to the preacher after the funeral was said and shook his

hand, the two of them standing there holding onto their hats and leaning thirty degrees

into the wind like vaudeville comics while the canvas flapped and raged about them and

the funeral attendants raced over the grounds after the lawnchairs, and he’d leaned into

the preacher’s face and screamed at him that it was a good thing they’d held the burial

that morning because the way it was making up this thing could turn off into a real blow

before the day was out.

Cormac McCarthy, from: All the Pretty Horses, 1992
