'A sky which is higher and lighter and which surrounds one closer and stretches further into space than anywhere else in the world. It is neither daunting nor belittling but hospitable and welcoming to man and as much his element as the earth; as though a mere error in gravity pins him to the rocks or the ship's deck and prevents him from being assumed into infinity.'
Patrick Leigh Fermor, Mani (1958)

The current state of affairs is depressing.
One of my favorite writers, and people in the world! Patrick Fermor. I hope you all have read his books and his biography.
