Quotes in the Bloody Chamber 2
The Erl-King
The trees stir like the taffeta skirts of women who have lost themselves in the woods and hunt round hopelessly for the way out
Erl-King will do you grievious harm
the Erl-king lives by himself all alone in the heart of the wood
How cruel is it, to keep wild birds in cages!
He is the tender butcher
That was the way i walked into the bird haunted solitude of the Erl-King
then she will open all the cages; and let the birds free; they will change back into young girls
The Lady of the House of Love
Wearing an antique bridal gown, the beautiful queen of the vampires sits all alone in her dark, high house
Closely barred shutters and heavy velvet curtains keep out every leak of natural light
depredations of rot and fungus everywhere
Her beauty is an abnormality, a deformity
She herself is a haunted house
the end of exile is the end of being
how can she bear the pain of becoming human?
In death, she looked far older, less beautiful and so, for the first time, fully human
The Werewolf
the devil is as real as you or i
wreaths of garlic on the doors keep out the vampires
when they discover a witch;some old woman whos cheeses ripen when her neighbours do not
by the wart, she knew it for her grandmothers hand
they pelted her with stones until she fell down dead
she began to struggle, squawking and shrieking like a thing posessed
The Company Of Wolves
the wolf is carnivore incarnate, (like the devil!) and he's as cunning as he is ferocious
the wolf is the worst for he cannot listen to reason
Before he can become a wolf, the lyycanthrope strips stark naked.If you spy a naked man among the pines, you mus run as if the devil were after you
"I wish i were a wolf again to teach this whore a lesson!" So a wolf he instantly became
she wept and her second husband beat her
the grandmother 'had knitted her the red shawl that, today, has the ominous if brilliant look of blood on snow
shawl was 'as red as the blood she must spill' virginity lost
took off her scarlet shawl 'the colour of sacrifices, the colour of her menses'
she stands and moves within the invisible pentacle of her own virginity
she is an unbroken egg- a sealed vessel
fear did her no good, so she ceased to be afraid
sweet and sound she sleeps in grannys bed, between the paws of the tender wolf
the tick of the clock cracked like a whip (coming of age and running out of time with wolf)
the forest closed upon her like a pair of jaws
he laughed with a flash of white teeth
there is a faint trace of blood on his chin; he has been snacking on his catch
Wolf Alice
her red lips are thick and lush
nothing about her is human, except she is NOT a wolf
like the wild beasts, she lives without a future
he lives in a gloomy mansion, all alone but for this child who has as little in common with the rest of us as he does
at night, those huge inconsolable rapacious eyes of his are eaten up by swollen, gleaming pupil
her first blood bewildered her
she bruised her nuzzle on the cold glass, and broke her paws trying to tussle with this stranger
he believes himself to be less and more than a man
