Absolutely gorgeous. Lispector’s writing is completely profound, and even in this stream-of-consciousness, free style, she is able to deftly capture to existential essence of living, its fears and supreme joys, with a clarity that is simultaneously groundbreaking and comforting. I could highlight a special line on every page, and certainly will read this countless times.
Once again I'm full of joyful happy love. Whatever you are I quickly breathe in lapping up your halo of wonder before it vanishes in the evaporation of the air. Is my fresh desire to live me and to live you the very tessitura of life? The nature of beings and of things —is God? So maybe if I demand a lot of nature, I would stop dying? Can I violate death and clear within it an opening for life?
