To stay in one place and watch the seasons come and go is tanatmount to constant travel: One is traveling with the earth.
Marguerite YourcenarI don't think I ever relinquish a person I have known, and surely not my fictional characters. I see them, I hear them, with a clarity that I would call hallucinatory if hallucination didn't mean something else ... A character whom we create can never die, any more than a friend can die ... Through [my characters] I've lived many parallel lives.
