Twoja niezwykła męska uroda zawsze działała na mnie w ten sam sposób. Był to rodzaj podziwu. Gdybym mogła, patrzyłabym na Ciebie, cały czas bym na Ciebie patrzyła. Oglądałabym Twoją twarz we fragmentach. Zachwyt nad Tobą był jednocześnie zachwytem nad moim uczuciem do Ciebie. Istniało dla mnie coś takiego jak fenomen życia, fenomen muzyki i fenomen miłości, a więc Ty też stawałeś się kimś wyjątkowym, zadziwiającym, bo przecież byłeś moją miłością... ↗

I know there is poor and hideous suffering, and I've seen the hungry and the guns that go to war. I have lived pain, and my life can tell: I only deepen the wound of the world when I neglect to give thanks for early light dappled through leaves and the heavy perfume of wild roses in early July and the song of crickets on humid nights and the rivers that run and the stars that rise and the rain that falls and all the good things that a good God gives. ↗

Sometimes, in a summer morning, having taken my accustomed bath, I sat in my sunny doorway from sunrise till noon, rapt in a revery, amidst the pines and hickories and sumachs, in undisturbed solitude and stillness, while the birds sing around or flitted noiseless through the house, until by the sun falling in at my west window, or the noise of some traveller's wagon on the distant highway, I was reminded of the lapse of time. I grew in those seasons like corn in the night, and they were far better than any work of the hands would have been. They were not time subtracted from my life, but so much over and above my usual allowance. I realized what the Orientals mean by contemplation and the forsaking of works. For the most part, I minded not how the hours went. The day advanced as if to light some work of mine; it was morning, and lo, now it is evening, and nothing memorable is accomplished. ↗
Susan: "...My enemies can take what they want, but my life is mine and so long as I breathe, it has value. I won't ever give up. Not again. ↗
