    Hermann Hesse
    “When someone seeks," said Siddhartha, "then it easily happens that his eyes see only the thing that he seeks, and he is able to find nothing, to take in nothing because he always thinks only about the thing he is seeking, because he has one goal, because he is obsessed with his goal. Seeking means: having a goal. But finding means: being free, being open, having no goal.”
    ― Herman Hesse, Siddhartha

    Delia Owens
    “She whispered a verse by Amanda Hamilton:

    You came again,
    blinding my eyes
    like the shimmer of sun upon the sea.
    Just as I feel free
    the moon casts your face upon the sill.
    Each time I forget you
    your eyes haunt my heart and it falls still.
    And so farewell
    until the next time you come,
    until at last I do not see you.”

    “Sunsets are never simple. Twilight is refracted and reflected But never true. Eventide is a disguise Covering tracks, Covering lies. “We don’t care That dusk deceives. We see brilliant colors, And never learn The sun has dropped Beneath the earth By the time we see the burn. “Sunsets are in disguise, Covering truths, covering lies. “A.H.”
