A quote from the novel on which George Clooney's new Netflix film,
"The Midnight Sky," is based —
"Yet here he was, seventy-eight years old …

all he could do was stare into the bleak face of
his own ignorance."
— Brooks-Dalton, Lily. Good Morning, Midnight (p. 5).

* The "Ice Stone" is in the New Year's Eve post tagged "Sixteenth."
