Quote #4
She went to him. He stood before the chapel grinning and pointing above the door. She turned and read the sign: Cold Mountain Assembly.
—We have against all odds arrived at home, Monroe had said. (2.133)
Is there any other way to arrive home in this book, besides against all odds?
Quote #5
The fourth time, though, she [Ada in a dream] stood firm and substantial and he held her tight. He [Inman] said, I've been coming for you on a hard road. I'm never letting you go. Never. (5.139)
Do Inman and Ada come to desire each other more because of all the hardships they face separately in the book?
Quote #6
—What are you doing up here? she said aloud to the heron. But she knew by the look of him that his nature was anchorite and mystic. Like all of his kind, he was a solitary pilgrim, strange in his ways and governed by no policy or creed common to flocking birds. Ada wondered that herons could tolerate each other close enough to breed. She had seen a scant number in her life, and those so lonesome as to make the heart sting on their behalf. Exile birds. Everywhere they were seemed far from home. (8.109)
Being alone and being far from home seem pretty related in this quote. Is there some necessary link between homecoming and other people in this book?
