Nothing is far and nothing is near, if one desires. The world is little, people are little, human life is little. There is only one big thing—desire. And before it, when it is big, all is little.
-Willa Cather in Song of the lark
I finished this book late last night. While I welled up with emotion and tears throughout the entire book, the end had me sobbing. I felt Thea's passion so strongly, because it is mine as well. Her shortcomings too, I see in myself. I only wish I would have read this book sooner.
This picture was taken by my friend @jeaniehay of @stardancerdesigns on her epic travels through Europe. Thankyou beauty!
