Willa Cather Quotes

From The Ancient Dwelling There Came Always A Dignified, Unobtrusive Sadness; Now Stronger, Now Fainter, - Like The Aromatic Smell Which The Dwarf Cedars Gave Out In The Sun, - But Always Present, A Part Of The Air One Breathed. At Night, When Thea Dreamed About The Canyon, - Or In The Early Morning When She Hurried Toward It, Anticipating It, - Her Conception Of It Was Of Yellow Rocks Baking In Sunlight, The Swallows, The Cedar Smell, And That Peculiar Sadness - A Voice Out Of The Past, Not Very Loud, That Went On Saying A Few Simple Things To The Solitude Eternally.
