“At last, the luminous match was struck and the day was lit.”
Dorit Rabinyan, Strand of a Thousand Pearls

Is it even possible to attain that sort of scrutiny, that measure of lucidity, when the hands of loss keep touching the memory, staining it with their fingerprints?”
Dorit Rabinyan, All the Rivers
