by day the blue will pale down into white where it touches the white of the land, after sunset it has a new circumference-orange, melting upwards into tenderest purple. but the core of blue persists, and so it is by night. then the stars hang like lamps from the immense vault. the distance between the vault and them is as nothing to the distance behind them, and that farther distance, though beyond colour, last freed itself from blue. -e.m. forster (a passage to india)

day after
it's too darn hot. we miss swimming in the pond and swimming in the sea. i closed the curtains here to keep out the hot sun and we dream of salt water and sea birds.
