Quotes

I love this place; I love mountains and big skies and forests. And the weather is still supremely beautiful even though the lower peaks are powdered with fresh snow. But Heavens! What sun. It never has an ending. I am basking at this minute - half past four - too hot without a hat, & the sky is that transparent blue only to be seen in autumn - the forest trees steeped in light. Katherine Mansfield

They are an almost perfect meeting place. Oh Heavens! How stairs do fascinate me when I think of it.

How long did they stand there? Both, as it were, caught in that circle of unearthly light, understanding each other perfectly, creatures of another world, and wondering what they were to do in this one... Katherine Mansfield

The lights, the azaleas, the dresses, the pink faces, the velvet chairs, all became one beautiful flying wheel. Katherine Mansfield
Light as feathers the witches fly, The horn of the moon is plain to see; By a firefly under a jonquil flower. A goblin toasts a bumble-bee. Katherine Mansfield
Ach, Tchekov! Why are you dead? Why can’t I talk to you in a big darkish room at late evening—where the light is green from the waving trees outside? I’d like to write a series of Heavens: that would be one. Katherine Mansfield
Katherine Mansfield quote: "Outside the sky is light with stars"
Outside the sky is light with stars Katherine Mansfield
I am poor - obscure - just eighteen years of age - with a rapacious appetite for everything and principles as light as my purse. Katherine Mansfield
