“The sea, the most unintelligible of non-human existences. And here is the woman, standing on the beach, the most unintelligible of living beings […] She and the sea.”

soracities:

“The smell of her hair, the taste of her mouth, the feeling of her skin seemed to have got inside him, or into the air all round him. She had become a physical necessity.”

George Orwell, 1984

johnmarkgreenpoetry:

“There is a fragrance in the air, a certain passage of a song, an old photograph falling out from the pages of a book, the sound of somebody’s voice in the hall that makes your heart leap and fills your eyes with tears. Who can say when or how it will be that something easters up out of the dimness to remind us of a time before we were born and after we will die?”

— Frederick Buechner, Telling The Truth
