A Writer's Ruminations

"God forbid that another should ever live the life I have known here and yet there are moments you know, old Boy, when after a dark day there comes a sunset—such a glowing gorgeous marvelous sky that one forgets all in the beauty of it—these are the moments when I am really writing—Whatever happens I have had these blissful, perfect moments and they are worth living for."

— Katherine Mansfield, from a letter to Richard Murry, January 1920 (via katherine-mansfield)
