Farther down the riverbank sat a young man dressed all in white. He was the only person in sight. His hair was white, his skin chalk pale, and he sat and stared up and down the river, as if he were admiring the view. He looked like how Victorian Romantic poets looked just before the consumption and drug abuse really started to cut it." --Good Omens pg.191-192 Terry Pratchett
About This Quote

This quote is from the excellent novel Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. It's the only page of the book that doesn't feature either of their names on it, and is instead credited to the Reverend Robert Dagon. A young man sits all alone on a river bank, admiring the view of an old man. The young man looks like he could be the Reverend Robert Dagon, who was one of the two main characters in the book. He has white hair, chalk pale skin, and his gaze is locked on something in the distance.
