Love and Loss are two of the most powerful themes in literature.
With Angelo Badalamenti's moving music as the soundtrack of my life these days, everything I read is coloured by his moods.
Half of a Yellow Sun, the amazing novel I am writing an article about at present, deals in depth with these themes. A quote that really got to me, that was agonizing to read, but at the same time immensely beautiful and poetic, was the following:
"Darkness descended on him, and when it lifted, he knew he would never see Kainene again and that his life would always be like a candlelit room; he would see things only in shadow, only in half glimpses".
This image really hits home with me.
We live as we dream -alone.
