A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings | Gabriel Garcia Marquez
post image

"Alien to the impertinances of the world, he only lifted his antiquarian eyes and murmured something in his dialect....his only supernatural virtue seemed to be patience."

#marquez is like a floating island: beauty, movement, impossibility. I like his short stories, specifically this one, "A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings" - alluring and magically surreal, yet wise in the way that only he is.
