“I am all in a sea of wonders. I doubt; I fear; I think strange things, which I dare not confess to my own soul.”

          How it was late, and no one could sleep, the horses running

were bright red, and every time we kissed there was another apple

“Strange as it may seem, I still hope for the best, even though the best, like an interesting piece of mail, so rarely arrives, and even when it does it can be lost so easily.”
― Lemony Snicket, The Beatrice Letters
