"What happened to the mother who looked at the snow? I don't say [you don't know this grammar yet] how mothers and step mothers change, looking, and being looked at. It takes a long time… Sinister twinkling animals, Hollywood ikons, modern Greek style; a basket of images, poison at work in the woodland no Cretan child ever sees. Closer to home I've seen a loved girl turn feral. These pages lurk in your mind, speak of your sister, her mother, and me. Perhaps, already of you."
Ruth Padel

"I like a thing simple but it must be simple by complication. Everything must come into your scheme, otherwise you cannot achieve real simplicity."
Gertrude Stein
