You're a poet. You just are. The original's in french -- I don't know how to do the accent marks, but:

Un paysage quelconque est un etat de l'ame.

I sure haven't been feeling like one lately - thank you so much. Your timing is fabulous.

I looked up HM Amiel and found some Kierkegaard fan going on about him. Now, of course, I'm gonna have to know more. :)

Thank you so much.

I'll be interested to hear what you find -- I loved the epigraph, but it was the truly spectacular novel, Afterimage by Helen Humphreys -- that I read.
