Quote from "the Dreamers"

By Isak Dinesen

"To this woman I owe that I have ever understood, and still remember, the meaning of words such as tears, heart, longing, stars, which you poets make use of. Yes, as to stars in particular. Mira, there was much about her that reminded one of a star. There was a difference between her and other women that there is between and overcast and a starry sky. Perhaps you too have met in the course of your life women of that sort, who are self-luminous and shine in the dark, who are phosphorescent, like touchwood."




You are a like a star, self-luminous and shining in the dark.
