The dust - of sunlight
The mouth of a young girl, like a violet
But gold - smells of nothing.”

“Writing is a luxury or, with luck, a rainbow of colors. It is my lifesaver when the water of the river or the sea tries to drag me under. When you want to die you fall in love with yourself, you look for something touching that will save you.”
― Silvina Ocampo, Thus Were Their Faces
