Very, Folly, Humility

Country, Activity, Line

Even the classics that we read to our young children are full of wolves' fangs and burning ovens and bloody feet and ice shards piercing hearts. Even the New Testament climaxes with an act of unspeakable torture. Might as well just read to our kids from the Amnesty Annual Report and be done with it. Geraldine Brooks

Piercing, Feet, Young

Some, Strong, Other
