The Hermitage Quotes

“Rain was falling, quiet rain, penetrating, like thick fog. You know, the terrible rain that rubs out the hours, that lies outside of time, in the eternity of sadness that no longer dares to name itself, autumn rain that erases even the memory of a possible return of summer. It was raining like that.”

― Marie Bronsard, The Hermitage

“I must create silence, emptiness, in me to stop the tumult.”
― Marie Bronsard, The Hermitage
