What do you make of this quote?
“He glares out, each eye a path, down the long bed at the end of which is Hana. After she has bathed him she breaks the tip off an ampoule and turns to him with the morphine. An effigy. A bed. He rides the boat of morphine. It races in him, imploding time and geography the way maps compress the world onto a two-dimensional sheet of paper.”
- The English Patient by Michael Ondaatje pg. 161
I get the first part, but I don’t understand the last part about geography and all that. Any ideas are greatly appreciated! :]
the last part is talking about how he feels when the morphine gets into him
morphine is a really powerful drug
so he is losing sense of time and reality
by geography it just means he is losing sense of everything
the world and time just seem to not exist the way they did before the morphine
