the world's stone-hard heart, again


Too long a sacrifice
Can make a stone of the heart.
O when may it suffice?

W. B. Yeats, "Easter, 1916"


Yes, indeed - and it can make a wreck of the body attached to the poor petrified heart.
It seems never to suffice, never, this widening distance between the far country of our desires and the wretched world we have to live in.

Peço desculpa pelo silêncio recente, mas com esta minha existência precária e nómada, deixei simplesmente de ter tempo para escrever e fotografar... Espero, porém, que a eventual adaptação a esta "estranha forma de vida" me traga de volta a inspiração perdida!
