| She Was Here on Earth Copyright 2012 Addie Hirschten Acrylic on Paper 11" x 14" |
Lara walked along the tracks following a path worn by pilgrims and then
turned into the fields. Here she stopped and, closing her eyes, took a
deep breath of the flower-scented air of the broad expanse around her.
It was dearer to her than her kin, better than a lover, wiser than a
book. For a moment she rediscovered the purpose of her life. She was
here on earth to grasp the meaning of its wild enchantment and to call
each thing by its right name, or, if this were not within her power, to
give birth out of love for life to successors who would do it in her
place.
-Boris Pasternak
