“This morning, the sun endures past dawn. I realise that it is August: the summer's last stand.”
Sara Baume, A Line Made by Walking

“The old summer's-end melancholy nips at my heels. There's no school to go back to; no detail of my life will change come the onset of September; yet still, I feel the old trepidation.”
Sara Baume, A Line Made by Walking

“My sadness isn’t a way I feel but a thing trapped inside the walls of my flesh, like a smog. It takes the sheen off everything. It rolls the world in soot. It saps the power from my limbs and presses my back into a stoop.”
Sara Baume, Spill Simmer Falter Wither
