the beauty of monotony
It is cruel, you know, that music should be so beautiful. It has the beauty of loneliness of pain: of strength and freedom. The beauty of disappointment and never-satisfied love. The cruel beauty of nature and everlasting beauty of monotony.
- Benjamin Britten

“My book should smell of pines and resound with the hum of insects.”
Emerson (via teapitcher) (via fuckyeahralphwaldoemerson)
You ask why I make my home in the mountain forest,
and I smile, and am silent,
and even my soul remains quiet:
it lives in the other world
which no one owns.The peach trees blossom,
The water flows.李白 Li Po (701 – 762)
