Walk with me...We'll figure out where we're going later

[reverie-quotes]

The artist risks unending humiliation. Also unending love, but that is not the point. I have to ask, then. Madame, what could I tell you more than one hundred years after all the postmen I knew in Arles, all the women, smiling or otherwise, throwing water on alley cats, the cats themselves, the stars and trees such as they were and also of course, the artist: gone entirely. Look at you looking into the eyes of a stranger for the consolation of his quiet ear.

— Barbara Kingsolver, "My Afternoon with the Postman"
