Susanna Clarke
“The Beauty of the House is immeasurable; its Kindness infinite.”
Susanna Clarke, Piranesi

Susanna Clarke
“In my mind are all the tides, their seasons, their ebbs and their flows. In my mind are all the halls, the endless procession of them, the intricate pathways. When this world becomes too much for me, when I grow tired of the noise and the dirt and the people, I close my eyes and I name a particular vestibule to myself; then I name a hall.”
Susanna Clarke, Piranesi

Susanna Clarke
“It does not matter that you do not understand the reason. You are the Beloved Child of the House. Be comforted.
And I am comforted.”
Susanna Clarke, Piranesi

Susanna Clarke
“I came out of the park. The city streets rose up around me. There was a hotel with a courtyard with metal tables and chairs for people to sit in more clement weather. Today they were snow-strewn and forlorn. A lattice of wire was strung across the courtyard. Paper lanterns were hanging from the wires, spheres of vivid orange that blew and trembled in the snow and the thin wind; the sea-grey clouds raced across the sky and the orange lanterns shivered against them. The Beauty of the House is immeasurable; its Kindness infinite.”
Susanna Clarke, Piranesi

Susanna Clarke
“May your Paths be safe, your Floors unbroken and may the House fill your eyes with Beauty.”
Susanna Clarke, Piranesi
