“(…) She Is Burning Down. As A House Might. As A Candle Will. She Is Ash And Tallow. It Is Over.”

“The divine is not human; it is something quite different. And it is not noble or sublime or spiritualized, as one likes to believe. It is alien and repellent and sometimes it is madness. It is malignant and dangerous and fatal. Or so I have found it. And I well know the stench of it - the sour goat-stench - who should know it better than I?”

- Pär Lagerkvist, The Sibyl. 

Half wood-nymph, half princess.

Molly Haskell on Audrey Hepburn, FIlm Comment (1991)

“—yet still stedfast, still unchangeable, Pillow’d upon my fair love’s ripening breast, To feel for ever its soft fall and swell, Awake for ever in a sweet unrest, Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath, And so live ever—or else swoon to death.”

— John Keats, excerpt of “Bright star, would I were stedfast as thou art”, in John Keats: The Complete Poems
