Iris Murdoch Quotes

Today There Is A Pleasant Very Light Haze Over The Whole Sky, And The Sea Has A Misleadingly Docile Silvered Look, As If The Substantial Wavelets Were Determined To Stroke The Rocks As Hard As They Could Without Showing Any Trace Of Foam. It Is A Compact Radiant Complacent Sort Of Sea, Very Beautiful. There Ought To Be Seals, The Waves Themselves Are Almost Seals Today, But Still I Scan The Water In Vain With My Long-distance Glasses. Enormous Yellow-beaked Gulls Perch On The Rocks And Stare At Me With Brilliant Glass Eyes. A Shadow-cormorant Skims The Glycerine Sea. The Rocks Are Thronged With Butterflies. The Temperature Remains High. I Wash My Clothes And Dry Them On The Lawn. I Have Been Swimming Every Day
and Feel Very Fit And Salty. Still No Move From Lizzie, But I Am Not Worried. I Feel Happy In My Silence. If The Gods Have Some Treat In Store For Lizzie And Me, Good. If Not, Also Good. I Feel Innocent And Free. Perhaps It Is All That Swimming.
