good lord this book is destroying me. Toni Morrison the woman and the writer you were…

it may be the very end of black history month, but the appreciation of black creators, especially women lasts all year round, their importance is not limited by time.

“so the ghostly figure which has haunted these pages, as it haunted my life, goes down into the impenetrable gloom. like a shadow she first came to me in the loneliness of the night. like a shadow she passes away in the loneliness of the dead.”

“the devotion I had promised, the devotion of my whole heart and soul and strength, might be laid blamelessly now at those dear feet. In the right of her calamity, in the right of her friendlessness, she was mine at last! Mine to support, to protect, to cherish, to restore. Mine to love and honour as father and brother both. Mine to vindicate through all risks and all sacrifices-through the hazard of my life”

“there, in the middle of the board, bright high-road - there, as if it had that moment sprung out of the earth or dropped from the heaven - stood there figure of solitary Woman, dressed from head to foot in white garments, her face bent in grave inquiry on mine, her hand pointing to the dark cloud over London, as i faced her.”

ahh very delightful, i’m wholeheartedly ready to be devoured by this book.

reading Dostoevsky after few questionable books really does feel like a breath of fresh air.
