Days [ ) Dawn in Mongolia | Haruki Murakami, 1994-95

“Dawn in Mongolia was an amazing thing. In one instant, the horizon became a faint line
suspended in the darkness, and then the line was drawn upward, higher and higher. It was
as if a giant hand had stretched down from the sky and slowly lifted the curtain of night
from the face of the earth. It was a magnificent sight, far greater in scale…than anything
that I, with my limited human faculties, could fully comprehend.”

 Haruki Murakami, The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, 1994-95
