“He was dumbfounded but learning fast.”
~ Mark Helprin, Winter’s Tale
Winter’s Tale is a lyrical all-over-the-place read which I’m really enjoying at the moment, all while holding on as best I can.
In an early chapter I came across this quote, which grabbed me.
That Great Work moment.
Stepping into a new place. Dumbfounded. Barely able to be sure of exactly what’s happening.
And already adapting, changing, sizing up what’s next.
