Annie Proulx: "Dia menempelkan wajahnya ke kain dan bernapas perlahan...

"Dia menempelkan wajahnya ke kain dan bernapas perlahan melalui mulut dan hidungnya, berharap untuk asap samar dan bijak gunung dan bau manis asin Jack tapi tidak ada aroma nyata, hanya memori itu, kekuatan imajiner dari Brokeback Mountain dimana tidak ada yang tersisa kecuali apa yang dia pegang di tangannya."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

He pressed his face into the fabric and breathed in slowly through his mouth and nose, hoping for the faintest smoke and mountain sage and salty sweet stink of Jack but there was no real scent, only the memory of it, the imagined power of Brokeback Mountain of which nothing was left but what he held in his hands.
