“I enjoy the spring more than the autumn now. One does, I think, as one gets older.” – Virginia Woolf

 “My mother used to say that rain here pours like a blessing, like a thick veil that parts to reveal the bride's face. But nearly every day, when this rain parted, it revealed a long line of soldiers, like you, like death, marching toward us, and we would scatter with a practiced silence and hide.”

― Mia Kirshner, I Live Here
