“The invisible alleyways of the air have twisted through mythology, in and out of landscapes and cultures, from zephyrs to howling gales. I have met the characters of the winds, and know the qualities they bring: the Bora strength and clarity; the Foehn destruction and depression; the Sirocco debilitation; the Mistral beauty and madness. Now it seems, hoping against hope, I am about to know the Helm â€� if only the Bar will come â€� and the wildness of the chase fills me, pulls me on.”

“Paddy was just one of many wanderers on strange, lonely quests, striking out on mysterious missions, most of whom had left no traces.”

“Every pine tree I walked beneath had its particular inflection, its needles hissing in frequencies subtly different from the ones before â€� the dictionary term is ‘psithurismâ€�, the noise of wind passing through leaves â€� an evergreen language that sounded like whispered words.”
