The Old English word for equinox is 'emniht', from 'efen' and 'niht', when night and day are evenly balanced. Today is the 'hærfestlice emniht', autumnal equinox; after this (says Byrhtferth of Ramsey) 'langað seo niht and wanað se dæg', 'the night lengthens and the day wanes'...

“A novel is the only place where two strangers can meet on terms of absolute intimacy. The reader and the writer make the book together. No other art can capture the essential inwardness of human life.” —Paul Auster theparisreview.org/interview…

Paul Auster, The Art of Fiction No. 178

“Writing has always been like that for me. Slowly blundering toward consciousness.”

Just over 100 years ago, Jacques Lartigue photographed his partner ‘Bibi’ (Madeleine Messager), quietly reading in a sunlit corner at the Hotel du Cap Eden-Roc, Cap d’Antibes. She lives on reading here forever...
