“On my first night there, I sat on the bed during the twilight while the walls went slowly from gray to gold to black, listening to a soprano’s voice climb dizzily up and down somewhere at the other end of the hall until at last the light was completely gone, and the faraway soprano spiraled on and on in the darkness like some angel of death, and I can’t remember the air ever seeming as high and cold and rarefied as it was that night . . . “ — Donna Tartt, The Secret History 📖 #bennington #benningtonvt #thesecrethistory #tsh #donnatartt #donnatarttthesecrethistory #lightacademia #cottagecore #lightacademiaaesthetic #cottagecoreaesthetic #explorevermont #vermont #benningtoncollege #writerscommunity #writerslife #writersofinstagram #adventure #travelgram #newengland #newenglandphotography #newenglandliving #bookquote #bookworm #amreading (at Bennington College) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiNmultr7bP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
