“A writer never forgets the first time he accepted a few coins or a word of praise in exchange for a story. He will never forget the sweet poison of vanity in his blood and the belief that, if he succeeds in not letting anyone discover his lack of talent, the dream of literature will provide him with a roof over his head, a hot meal at the end of the day, and what he covets the most: his name printed on a miserable piece of paper that surely will outlive him. A writer is condemned to remember that moment, because from then on he is doomed and his soul has a price.”
-Carlos Ruiz Zafon
I wish I read pantomime book of you.Looks so gothic.Like something with rose on your desk so beautiful.wondering where did you buy…
The book is out in DK on the 28th of August – who knows, maybe it will be translated to turkish ;o). The rose candle holder is a french antique from 1890. Like ExVotos they were given to the church by grateful parents when they had a healthy child – in this case the child was a girl (the rose colored rose). They are pretty pricey. I bought it at: http://www.fildefer.dk, and if you look for something like mine, look under “Kirkestager” at the website, that’s the name of them in danish.
