Spring nights can be strange and unpredictable. They make you think we have something in common with the stars.

I can’t resign myself to the fact that I live in order to die some day. I’d love to step off this well-trodden straight and boring path. To somehow live differently, think different thoughts, feel different feelings than others. It wouldn’t bother me to be as alone as a tree on the plains. My leaves would be like no other tree’s.

hello everyone new! thank you all for following me — i do feel very flattered. i would like to tell you something about me but there is not so very much to tell. last night i dreamt i was in school again and laura marling was there for a secret show.
also, i’m currently reading the new york stories of elizabeth hardwick and it’s very, very good. she is an incredible writer. her characters are real, her stories ‘familiar’. i highly recommend this book.
what’s your current read?

He did not know where he was going or what he would do. He had set off. Nothing lay behind him any more: nothing lay before him as yet. He was in space.
