Today was one of the most beautiful days of the summer. We all watched the glorious sunset, twilight—half shadows, half lights. I will remember this day for a long, long time, for the dreams I dreamed in the swing, watching on one side my dear little house with its lit-up windows in the darkness, on the other the woods, with the beautiful sky for a roof. And beyond that, life, life. Tonight my heart overflows.
Anaïs Nin in a diary entry dated 3 August 1920, from The Early Diary of Anaïs Nin: 1920-1923
