Once upon a time, Paco Pomet

* * * *

“You must, in order that it shall speak to you, take a thing during a certain time as the only one that exists, as the only phenomenon which through your diligent and exclusive love finds itself set down in the center of the universe and which in this incomparable place on that day the angels serve. This will not spare you tears, but will contribute to giving all your tears a meaning clearer and, so to speak, more transparent.”

~ Rilke
