Roumeli: Travels in Northern Greece by Patrick Leigh Fermor
4.0
A swaddled baby in a hewn cradle like a little trough rested across her lap; it had been slung across her back like a papoose when she got in.

Roumeli picks up steam in a shepherds wedding and shimmers in incandescence in the pursuit of Lord Byron's shoes. This book is both mournful and reverent.

I feel enriched. Events alter us and then leave us changed but ever forgetting. I was thinking of the time Edward Thomas spent with Robert Frost earlier, how such links across time.
