I just miss you, in a quite simple desperate human way. Oh my dear, I can’t be clever and stand-offish with you: I love you too much for that.

Vita Sackville-West
I suppose the pleasure of country life lies really in the eternally renewed evidences of the determination to live.
Vita Sackville-West
The more one gardens, the more one learns And the more one learns, the more one realizes how little one knows.
