ミルハウザーの描く月夜

 

I like reading Steven Millhauser’s works and am impressed by his writings, such as the following: 

Dark fields of blue air stretched away in every direction. I looked down at the moonlit leaves below, at the top of a streetlamp, at shafts of moonlight slanting like white ladders under the leaves. I walked carefully forward above the trees, taking light steps that sank deep, then climbed a little higher, till catching a breeze I felt myself borne away into the blue countries of the night. (CLAIR DE LUNE  by Steven Millhaser) 

Beautiful and miraculous! When reading his works, I can believe the power of words.
