From Moon Tiger, by Penelope Lively
CONTROL
"I put my faith in language -- hence the panic when a simple word eludes me, when I stare at a piece of flowered material in front of a window and do not know what name to give it. Curtain. Thank God. I control the world so long as I can name it."
From Chapter 4
