Pond, Rain

Just this, today, an Edith Wharton quote:

“I have sometimes thought that a woman’s nature is like a great house full of rooms: there is the hall, through which everyone passes in going in and out; the drawingroom, where one receives formal visits; the sitting-room, where the members of the family come and go as they list; but beyond that, far beyond, are other rooms, the handles of whose doors perhaps are never turned; no one knows the way to them, no one knows whither they lead; and in the innermost room, the holy of holies, the soul sits alone and waits for a footstep that never comes.”

    Serenity and Tranquility……
    What a beautiful, peaceful place.
    How I would love to see that – here in Texas. We have had 6″ rain since last September. Plus the heat 100+. So very harsh on Mother Nature…..
    Thanks for sharing this lovely scene…..can almost smell the rain!

  4. I love this quote, it’s so true, and wow I’d forgotten about Edith Wharton haven’t read her since college. Need to begin a list, I think. Thanks :)
