"It seemed like a desperate
"It seemed like a desperate farewell. As I held her then I felt sad and deprived in all my being and felt from top to toe the same sadness in her."
-The Italian Girl, Iris Murdoch
I've fallen in love with Iris Murdoch. Her words are very beautiful indeed and if I had my way, I would quote her entire book. But no, I shall relish the beauty of her words and her writing in my heart and continue reading more of her words. In the meantime, I think it might be a good idea if some of you try reading her too.
There are writers, and good writers. Then, there are ethereal writers.
The world is made beautiful by writers like her.
