“Her Majesty Led This Strange Orchestra” by Rosina Emmet Sherwood. Originally published in 1888 as an illustration for the children’s magazine Harper’s Young People.

Serena Crane, The Dinner Party

Someone spoke to me last night, told me the truth. Just a few words, but I recognized it. I knew I should make myself get up, write it down, but it was late, and I was exhausted from working all day in the garden, moving rocks. Now, I remember only the flavor — not like food, sweet or sharp. More like a fine powder, like dust. And I wasn’t elated or frightened, but simply rapt, aware. That’s how it is sometimes — God comes to your window, all bright light and black wings, and you’re just too tired to open it.

Monica Bellucci, 1997

Thought this might help others who struggle when writing. I know I get in my head too much.
