June was dying among the roses, the hedges were darkening to a duller green; the blatancy of red brick sprawled along the highway was a reminder that the present builds inexorably over the empty fields of the past.

“It’s pouring, the trees are getting greener before my eyes, I love you. I’m almost afraid of the intensity of this happiness.”

— Vladimir Nabokov, from Letters to Véra tr. by Olga Voronina & Brian Boyd

"All will come again into its strength: the fields undivided, the waters undammed, the trees towering and the walls built low.

And in the valleys, people as strong and varied as the land. And no churches where God is imprisoned and lamented like a trapped and wounded animal.

The houses welcoming all who knock and a sense of boundless offering in all relations, and in you and me.

No yearning for an afterlife, no looking beyond, no belittling of death, but only longing for what belongs to us and serving earth, lest we remain unused."

~ Rainer Maria Rilke
