Funny how one word in one language can convey sentences in your own. I think hiraeth is coupled with that idealization of a place you assume to be in stasis but realizing that it is no longer the place you once thought. <br /><br />Claire<br />www.augustlikethemonth.blogspot.comclairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03926234953355296849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7775401128636054304.post-81046880410244798152014-05-16T15:51:57.297-07:002014-05-16T15:51:57.297-07:00:):)Pilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04610980829597321008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7775401128636054304.post-63286210299260873762014-04-09T05:24:54.844-07:002014-04-09T05:24:54.844-07:00This is just stunning writing.
