She entered the story knowing
she would emerge from it
feeling she had been
immersed in the lives of others,
in plots that stretched back twenty years,
her body full of sentences and moments,
as if awakening from sleep
with a heaviness caused by
unremembered dreams.

Oh wow, this is beautiful! Love it. So much can be said in few words. I read this several times and walked away with a treasured reward each time. The picture is perfect.
thanks - i loved the print, too - and the words - well, i loved every word of the english patient! thanks for coming by!
Isn't The English Patient just engrossing? It's one of those movies that stick to the ribs. That's a lovely quote, Gypsywoman, and the image gives it a nuanced meaning.

dearest nevine - i cannot tell you how much i love the english patient, let alone how many times i've watched it - beautiful, in all ways! and this image - the moment i saw it i thought of the english patient!
Such a great movie and pic! And I love this part,
"awakening from sleep
with a heaviness caused by
unremembered dreams".
Maybe that's why I feel so "out of it" when I wake up. It takes two cups of strong Louisiana coffee, for me to wake up. Unremembered dreams! Thanks for the insight!
i love that line too - course, there are lots of lines i love from this film - thanks so much for coming by - i've been thinking louisianadays all day today!
