“To unravel any mystery, find the start. Untie that riddle, and the rest will follow.”
― Delphine and the Silver Needle
― Delphine and the Silver Needle
“The verb 'to darn' is explained in my pocket dictionary as follows: 'To mend by imitating the texture of the stuff, with thread and needle.' But this definition does not correspond to the work accomplished by good Chinese housewives. When they mend a sock, they do not try 'to imitate the texture of the stuff'. Their art makes no attempt at concealment: it even takes a certain pride in revealing itself.”
