great diary


"I was hard at work beneath the cliff, well sheltered from the wind, in the spot which you visited with me; convinced that the tide was drawing out I took no notice of the waves which came and fell a few feet away from me. In short, absorbed as I was, I didn't see a huge wave coming; it threw me against the cliff and I was tossed about in its wake along with all my materials! ... the worst of it was that I lost my painting which was very soon broken up, along with my easel, bag etc."
-- Letter from Monet to Alice Hoschedé from Étretat, 27 November 18854

I just finished reading this graphic novel by Chester Brown, it was really great. You can read about it here It reminded me of being in secondary school and having a four year crush on a boy that I never let know about my crush xxo
