“To live in prison is to live without mirrors. To live without mirrors is to live without the self.
She is living selflessly, she finds a hole in the stone wall and on the other side of the wall, a voice.
The voice comes through darkness and has no face. This voice becomes her mirror.”
— Margaret Atwood, from Selected Poems II: 1976 - 1986
