"Lara walked along the tracks following the path worn by pilgrims and then turned into the fields. Here she stopped and, closing her eyes, took a deep breath of the flower-scented air of the broad expanse around her. It was dearer to her than her kin, better than a lover, wiser than a book. For a moment she rediscovered the purpose of her life. She was here on earth to grasp the meaning of its wild enchantment and to call each thing by its right name, or, if this were not within her power, to give birth out of love for life to successors who would do it in her place."
Boris Pasternak, Doctor Zhivago.
I have developed quite a little obsession with this book by Boris Pasternak. There is a nice little story behind this development but that is for another post. For now, here is a little passage from this wonderful novel and another photograph from my Creature Fear series.
