I want antique bookstores and beautiful coffee shops and cobbled streets and opulent cathedrals with open doors. I want silken shirts and flowing jackets and an apartment with a balcony that opens out above the street as the linen curtains whisper behind me. But who will join me?

“Both colour and language have their mundane, pragmatic, adaptive functions; we use colour to recognise objects in our environment, and we use language for everyday communication. But in painting and poetry, colour and language become as it were aware of themselves; it is indeed as though they know themselves better than any human being possibly could.”— Elena Maslova-Levin, ‘Rainer Maria Rilke on Colour and Self-Awareness’
