  6. amethyst-toothed lumps of rock, less glaucous than gray, waves too sluggish to break into foam, marine rococo, coral crucifixes in a shop window, unripe orange peel on the old, slate-blue sidewalk, I am fond of Fialta; I am fond of it because I feel in the hollow of those violaceous syllables the sweet dark dampness of the most rumpled of small flowers, elaborate-looking things with a lunar gloss, large pale sponges in a blue vase were dying a thirsty death, gray day saturated with a vernal essence , more mouth than meaning, perfect ex libris for the book of our two lives, ephemeral worries between trains

  7. To be stupid and selfish and to have good health are the three requirements for happiness.
    — Flaubert (via magnificentruin)
