Don DeLillo "Underworld" Book Quote Phone Case

And what do you remember, finally, when everyone has gone home and the streets are empty of devotion and hope, swept by river wind?

Or does the power of transcendence linger, the sense of an event that violates natural forces, something holy that throbs on the hot horizon, the vision you crave because you need a sign to stand against your doubt? -Don DeLillo
