Sunday 160...even so


And did you get what you wanted from this life, even so?
I did
And what did you want?
To call myself beloved, to feel myself beloved on this earth
Raymond Carver


"The Beloved"
Dante Gabriel Rossetti

  3. Hi there. What a lovely quotation by Raymond Carver. Surely that's all anyone could ever ask for. Rossetti is one of the favourite painters. I love the pre-raphaelite movement.

    Well done.

    Cheers, Jenny
