Twenty-Four ~ Gustaf Hrodbeorht

Gustave Flaubert

"I will describe her in great detail and at great length in every way possible, anything to convey precisely what her existence means to mine. I will write about her eyes and her smile and her lips and her mind until I have used all the words in the Swedish language. And then, I will continue to write. In French and Swiss and Norwegian and German. In Latin and Greek and Old Norse. I will learn these tongues so that I may write about her in all the languages that have ever been. And still, when all the words this world has ever known will have spilled from my quill, still I will not have written all there is to write about her beauty. Not even close."
