Meanwhile There Are Letters Quotes

“I kept hearing in my head all the way that beautiful word “confluence”—“the confluence of the waters”—everything the eyes could see was like the word happening. I don’t remember that there were any houses or roads or people anywhere, just treetops and water and distance and sky and birds and confluence. It may not be so rare but I thought so then and I do now—it’s all so rarely the blessing falls.”
― Suzanne Marrs, Meanwhile There Are Letters: The Correspondence of Eudora Welty and Ross Macdonald
