....Looking at Hope in the face....



“In those faces—obtuse and obstinate, gross and brutal, like those the great Spanish painters, without the least touch of complacency and with an almost flesh-and-blood realism, have left us—there was something like a desperate hopefulness, something very concrete and at the same time universal. Since then I have never seen the same expression on any face. . . . The memory will never leave me. Anyone who has looked Hope in the face will never forget it. He will search for it everywhere he goes.”



`Octavio Paz in 'The Labyrinth of Solitude'...

so true and amazingly captured...it feels satisfying and peaceful to read good writing, even if u cant ever write that satisfyingly enough..ever!!!..

~saludos 2 the true writers...
