“Where the spirit meets the bones”
One of folklore/evermore's most resonant images — the spirit located precisely at the threshold of the physical and immaterial. The body (bones) is where the spirit lives; intimacy is the meeting of the mortal and the eternal. Love as the site where the spectral and the physical are inseparable.
