Dwaalstories: A Covid-19 post


My native language, Afrikaans, has some wonderful words. One of them is DWAAL, which defies translation. It is a gothic word used for wandering dream-like, without purpose and with nameless longing.

“I believe that there is luminosity hiding in the shadow of the mundane. And things that hover at the periphery of our vision. If that’s magic, then I believe in it.”

“Men don't become worth your while until they're in their thirties." …
"Well, it's not automatic with all men, you know." …
"With women, of course, it's different. Women are born interesting.”
Natasha Mostert, Season of the Witch

“Books. They tumbled from the bleeding sky like wounded birds. The spines snapping open and the pages fanning white. Black letters slipping off the slanted pages and falling, falling to the ground where they... Shatter.”
Natasha Mostert, Dark Prayer

G.K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy

“Yes: I am a dreamer. For a dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.”
