Todos tenemos nuestros dolores, y aunque la forma, el peso y las dimensiones del dolor son diferentes para cada persona, el color del dolor es común a todos nosotros.
Diane SetterfieldShe had suffered longer, and she had suffered more. Each second was agony in the first weeks. She was like an amputee in the days before anesthesia, half crazed with pain, astounded that the human body could feel so much and not die of it. But slowly, cell by painful cell, she began to mend. There came a time when it was no longer her whole body that burned with pain but only her heart. And then there came a time when even her heart was able, for a time at least, to feel other emotions besides grief... she learned how to exist apart.
Diane SetterfieldI shall start at the beginning. Though of course, the beginning is never where you think it is.

Diane SetterfieldTags: writing
Las palabras tienen algo especial. En manos expertas, manipuladas con destreza, nos convierten en sus prisioneros. Se enredan en nuestros brazos como tela de araña y en cuanto estamos tan embelesados que no podemos movernos, nos perforan la piel, se infiltran en la sangre, adormecen el pensamiento. Y ya dentro de nosotros ejercen su magia.
Diane SetterfieldCuando el miedo y el
frío hacen de ti una estatua en tu propia cama, no ansíes que la Verdad
pura y dura acuda en tu auxilio. Lo que necesitas es el mullido consuelo
de un relato. La protección balsámica, adormecedora, de una mentira.
