Eros colpisce come il fabbro con il martello sprizzando scintille dalla sfida. Hai spento il mio cuore tra lacrime e lamenti, come si spegne un fuoco… - Karen Blixen
" "Eros colpisce come il fabbro con il martello
sprizzando scintille dalla sfida.
Hai spento il mio cuore tra lacrime e lamenti,
come si spegne un fuoco incandescente del ruscello.

Additional quotes by Karen Blixen
Nemcsak a földjüket vesszük el azoktól, akiktől a szülőföldjüket elvesszük. A múltjukat is, a gyökerüket, identitásukat. Ha elvesszük tőlük azon dolgokat, amiknek látását megszokták s amiknek látására a jővőben is számítanak, nyugodtan elvehetjük a szemük világát is. Ez fokozottabban érvényes a primitív népekre, mint a civilizáltakra, mert az állat is visszavándorol messziről, számtalan veszélyen és szenvedésen át, hogy meglelje elvesztett identitását abban a környezetben, amelyet ismer.
I do not know if you remember the tale of the girl who saves the ship under mutiny by sitting on the powder barrel with her lighted torch … and all the time knowing that it is empty? This has seemed to me a charming image of the women of my time. There they were, keeping the world in order … by sitting on the mystery of life, and knowing themselves that there was no mystery.
