Home

I walked the winding path today around the apartment buildings right through my childhood. Everything smelled the same. The big white lilies gave off a fragrance of early evening, the sunset was in its incipient stages. The heat bearable, like me. Summer petering out. I leapt from one slab of stone to…

The heart of summer

“The morning is full of storm in the heart of summer. The clouds travel like white handkerchiefs of good-bye, the wind, traveling, waving them in its hands. The numberless heart of the wind beating above our loving silence. Orchestral and divine, resounding among the trees like a language full of wars and songs. (…) Her…

Thought of the day

“Every one begins to survey the rest, and wishes to be surveyed himself; and public esteem acquires a value.

Thought of the day

“His conclusion was that things were not always what they appeared to be. The cub’s fear of the unknown was an inherited distrust, and it had now been strengthened by experience. Thenceforth, in the nature of things, he would possess an abiding distrust of appearances. He would have to learn the reality of a thing…
