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."
