Quotes by Gretchen Legler  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“The sky is gray and the big lake is duller and darker than the sky. In this dull light every color is accentuated, especially her skin. Her skin is white. The whiteness of her skin is like a thick, pale candle with a flame deep inside of it. In this light, the trees radiate greenness.

Collected in: Sisters of the Earth: Women's Prose and Poetry About Nature by Lorraine Anderson”
