Cyril Connolly
“It is closing time in the gardens of the West and from now on an artist will be judged only by the resonance of his solitude or the quality of his despair.”
Cyril Connolly

Tomas Tranströmer
“Tired of all who come with words, words but no language
I went to the snow-covered island.
The wild does not have words.
The unwritten pages spread themselves out in all directions!
I come across the marks of roe-deer's hooves in the snow.
Language, but no words.”
Tomas Transtromer

Paul Bowles
“Sunset is such a sad hour,” she said, presently. “If I watch the end of a day—any day—I always feel it’s the end of a whole epoch. And the autumn! It might as well be the end of everything,” he said. “That’s why I hate cold countries, and love the warm ones, where there’s no winter, and when night comes you feel an opening up of the life there, instead of a closing down. Don’t you feel that?”
Paul Bowles, The Sheltering Sky

Lawrence Durrell
“Journeys, like artists, are born and not made. A thousand differing circumstances contribute to them, few of them willed or determined by the will - whatever we may think. They flower spontaneously out of the demands of our natures - and the best of them lead us not only outwards in space, but inwards as well. Travel can be one of the most rewarding forms of introspection....”
Lawrence Durrell, Bitter Lemons of Cyprus

Tomas Tranströmer
“I must be alone ten minutes in the morning and ten minutes in the evening. – Without a programme.”
Tomas Tranströmer, New Collected Poems
